About this map

Seboeis Stream defines the central corridor of this Maine landscape, flowing south through a terrain of glacial ridges and river islands. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the confluence of the Piscataquis River and the Penobscot River anchors the settlement of Howland, where a pipeline and local roads converge. To the north, South Branch Lake provides a significant water feature near Gilford, while the small settlement of Seboeis sits along the stream that shares its name.

The map details several distinctive landforms, including the elongated Whitney Ridge and Carpenter Ridge, alongside the Horseback and Maxfield areas. Conservation and land management are evident in the Pond Farm State Wildlife Management Area, which occupies a central wetland basin. Local history is marked by a riverside Cem near the Piscataquis, and numerous islands like Lowell Island, Doe I, and Big Island dot the river channels, illustrating the complex hydrology of this Penobscot County region in the late 1980s.
