2018 Map of Oxbow East

About this map

The Aroostook River winds through this Maine landscape, creating distinctive landforms such as The Oxbow and the marshy reaches of Seven Islands. Near the settlement of Oxbow, the river is joined by local tributaries including Tuttle Brook and School Brook, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the Umcolcus Stream and its West Branch. The terrain reflects a transition from river bottoms to upland ridges like Yerxa Ridge. Local history is anchored near the town center by Willard Cem and Oxbow Cem, situated along River RD and Aiken Brook Rd. The map also captures the remote hydrology of the region, from the Otter Brook Bog to the turbulent waters of Shephard Rips, illustrating the complex water network that historically supported the regional timber and sporting economies at the border of Aroostook Co and Penobscot Co.
