1917 Map of Passadumkeag

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this Penobscot County landscape, defining the boundaries and economic life of riverfront settlements like Passadumkeag, Olamon, and Greenbush. Surveyed in 1915, the map captures a period when the river was essential for log driving and transport, evidenced by complex water features like Thorofare and Long Thorofare. Small rural schoolhouses, including the Edinburg School and Dam School, are scattered across the townships, marking the centers of localized communities. To the east, the Central Maine Road parallels the river, connecting Enfield Sta to Costigan. The terrain is characterized by the distinctive Horseback ridges and a dense network of water bodies such as Cold Stream and Sunkhaze Stream, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Maine woods before modern development altered these traditional routes and landmarks.
