About this map

Northern Bay and the tidal reaches of the Bagaduce River define this coastal landscape on the Maine shore. The 2018 survey reveals a settlement pattern anchored by Penobscot, South Penobscot, and North Brooksville, with numerous small family cemeteries like Leach Cem, Hutchins Cem, and Westcott Cem scattered throughout the hills. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Wallamatogus Mtn and Gray Ridge, while the shoreline is a complex network of points and coves, including Grindle Point and Tapley Cove.

Interspersed among the forested ridges are ecologically significant areas like Great Heath, Wight Heath, and Hinckley Meadow. The map detail shows how local life follows the water and road networks, from the falls at Bagaduce Falls to the freshwater reaches of Pierce Pond and Parker Pond. Genealogists will find particular value in the high density of burial sites and family-named landmarks that have persisted through the modern era.
