About this map

The Aroostook River winds through this northern Maine landscape, defining the character of the settlement at Oxbow. The river's path is marked by distinctive features such as The Oxbow and Pine Island, while the rapids at Shephard Rips indicate the terrain's fall towards the north. To the south, the boundary between Aroostook Co and Penobscot Co cuts across the drainage of Umcolcus Stream.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Oxbow Cem and Willard Cem, situated near the junction of Oxbow Rd and River Rd. The interior is characterized by a network of logging and local access routes, including Craig Camp Rd and Jerry's Rd, which navigate the various brooks and flats of the region. Small landings and clearings like Seven Islands suggest the long-standing relationship between the community and the river-based economy of the North Woods.
