2014 Map of Seboeis

About this map

Seboeis and the southern fringes of South Branch Lake anchor this topographic survey of central Maine’s riverine landscape. The confluence of the Piscataquis River and the Penobscot River near Howland defines the southern portion of the map, where a series of large river islands such as Lowell Island, Doe Island, and Big Island mark the shifting currents. The interior is characterized by glacial features like the Hoytville Horseback, a distinct ridge system running parallel to Seboeis Stream. The local road network, including Station Rd and Seboeis Rd, connects small settlements to the surrounding timberlands and ridges. Notable elevations like Whitney Ridge and Carpenter Ridge flank the drainage basins of Maxy Brook and Gordon Brook, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the region's major waterways.
