2014 Map of Otter Chain Ponds

About this map

Otter Chain Ponds and the intricate network of the Sunkhaze Stream watershed dominate this landscape in central Maine. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and glacial features, such as the prominent Haynes Ridge in the northeast and Baker Hill further south. While much of the area remains undeveloped forest and bog, the map documents a distinct pattern of recreational and timber access through named paths like the Oak Points Trail and Spruce Loop Trail. Near the settlement of Milford, residential development is concentrated along roads such as Bryer Heights Rd and Kingsbury Rd. The inclusion of the Evergreen Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Penobscot Co. Numerous water bodies, including Great Works Stream and Birch Stream, illustrate the complex drainage typical of the region.
