About this map

Penobscot River waters define the western boundary of this territory, where the settlement of Passadumkeag sits at the confluence with the Passadumkeag River. The landscape is dominated by a prominent glacial ridge known as the Horseback, which runs north-south and serves as a natural corridor for the Enfield Road. This landform separates the active river valley from the expansive interior wetlands, including the Thousand Acre Bog.

Resource management and local industry are visible through the State Nursery near Olamon Stream and the Fish Hatchery adjacent to Enfield. For those tracing family history, several burial grounds are recorded, including West End Cem and Sunny Slope Cem. The map also details the transition from the rail-oriented Enfield Sta to the recreational areas surrounding the southern reaches of Cold Stream Pond at Webb Cove.
