About this map

Princeton serves as the hub of this Washington County landscape, positioned at a narrow land bridge between Big Lake and The Basin. This geographic bottleneck, known as The Narrows, historically dictated the flow of transport and settlement in the region. The map reveals a distinct pattern of small hamlets and landings including West Princeton and South Princeton, along with important local landmarks like the Princeton Municipal Airport and Princeton Cem.

South of the main settlement, the terrain is dominated by the prominent Pocomoonshine Mtn and the expansive Pocomoonshine Lake, which is dotted with unique features such as Blood Cove, Brown Cove, and Middle Ground. The preservation of local names is evident in the surrounding wetlands and points, such as Elijah Brown Heath, Sawtelle Heath, and Morrison Point. This survey captures the region's balance between its aviation and roadway infrastructure along Us Rte 1 and its extensive network of interior waterways and streams like Lewys Brook and Allen Stream.
