2011 Map of Seboeis

About this map

Seboeis and Gilford anchor this North Woods landscape where the Penobscot River meets the Piscataquis River. The topography is defined by glacial features and water management, notably the Pond Farm Pond Dam and the West Enfield Dam at the southern edge. The map highlights the intricate river system including Merrill Brook, Gordon Brook, and Tate Brook, which drain into the main channels around islands like Lowell Island, Doe Island, and Big Island. This 2011 survey captures the area’s transition from high ridges such as Carpenter Ridge and Randall Ridge to the low-lying wetlands of Sweat Bog Brook. Notable for local researchers is the Hoytville Horseback, a distinct glacial ridge running parallel to Seboeis Stream, and the network of logging and local roads like Maine Rd and Railroad Pit Rd that serve this timber-rich region of Penobscot County.
