About this map

Burlington and Lowell serve as the primary northern settlements in this rural Maine landscape, which is defined by the winding course of the Passadumkeag River. The area’s educational and civic history is anchored by local institutions like the Longfellow Sch, Bradbury Sch, and Upper Sch, while Town House Hill marks a central point for community gathering. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, Morrison Mill reflects the local industry dependent on the region's abundant water power.

The topography is dominated by the massive Passadumkeag Mountain, which features a prominent Fire Tower at its summit. Surrounding this peak are numerous ridges such as White Horse Ridge and Folsom Ridge, which overlook Saponac Pond and its distinct Black Island. To the south, the terrain descends toward Greenfield and Olamon Stream, where smaller family landmarks like Lambe Hill and Crocker Turn offer precise reference points for genealogical research in Penobscot County.
