2024 Map of Patten

About this map

Patten serves as a northern anchor for this landscape where the Penobscot County and Aroostook County line divides the terrain. The area is defined by an extensive network of waterways, including the West Branch and East Branch Molunkus Streams, which drain through sprawling wetlands like Thousand Acre Bog and Blackwell Bog. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns and the placement of transportation routes such as Station Rd and S Patten Rd. To the south, the village of Sherman Mills sits near the Sherman Mills Cemetery, while smaller locales like Siberia and Sherman Station suggest the varied history of this timber-and-agricultural region. Elevation is marked by prominent high points such as Ash Hill and Stafford Hill, providing a clear view of the drainage basins and the many brooks, including Fish Stream and Torrie Brook, that feed the larger Molunkus system.
