2024 Map of Passadumkeag

About this map

The Penobscot River carves the western edge of this landscape, framing a series of riverine islands including Long Island, Thorofare Islands, and Hog Island. At the confluence where the Passadumkeag River meets the Penobscot, the settlement of Passadumkeag serves as a historic focal point, while Enfield sits to the north near the shores of Cold Stream Pond. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its glacial heritage, most notably the Enfield Horseback esker and the expansive Thousand Acre Bog. Long-standing family and community histories are preserved in several local burial grounds, such as the Enfield Village Cem, Goulds Ridge Cem, and the Fernald Cem. These landmarks, along with the distinct elevations of Vinegar Hill and Roundy Ridge, illustrate the varied topography between the river lowlands and the interior highlands of Penobscot County.
