2024 Map of Snow Mountain

About this map

Newburgh Center and Newburgh Village anchor the western reaches of this landscape, situated at the boundary between Penobscot and Waldo counties. The area is defined by a series of prominent rises, including Kelly Mtn, Pickard Hill, and the central summit of Snow Mtn. A network of small streams and brooks, such as West Branch Souadabscook Stream and Marsh Stream, drain the undulating terrain, punctuated by features like Alger Pond and the Burnt Swamp. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the numerous small burial grounds dispersed throughout the countryside, such as Neallys Corner Cem, Ellingwood Corner Cem, and Coles Corner Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of these rural townships. The map details the transition from the settled centers of West Hampden and Hampden Center toward the southern town of Winterport.
