1981 Map of Snow Mountain

About this map

The rolling interior of Penobscot and Waldo Counties is defined by a network of crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. The landscape features prominent high points such as Snow Mountain and Pickard Hill, separated by a complex drainage system including Souadabscook Stream and Marsh Stream. In the southern reaches, the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line cuts through the terrain near the Winterport Sta, marking the era's transport corridor. Local history is etched into the map at several small burial grounds like Chapman Cem and Twining Cem, while the agrarian and residential character of the late 1970s is evident in the transition from active farms to wooded hills. The presence of an Abandoned Airfield near the Winterport border hints at shifting land use, while small community hubs like Newburgh Village and Ellingwood Corner serve as the primary anchors for the surrounding rural population.
