About this map

Morrison Mill stands along the Nicatous Stream in this early 1930s survey of the Maine woods, a period when the timber industry and river-based transport defined the regional economy. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and highlands, featuring Oaks Bog and the prominent Lord Mountain, connected by a series of small rural schools like the Longfellow Sch and Bradbury Sch. These educational landmarks, along with the Greenfield Cemetery, provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracing families in the townships of Burlington, Grand Falls, and Greenfield. The presence of Townhouse Hill suggests a center of local governance for the dispersed population. Waterways such as the Passadumkeag River and Madagascal Stream dominate the drainage pattern, illustrating the topographical challenges faced by early settlers in Penobscot and Hancock counties.
