About this map

South Lagrange and the small settlement of Gerry anchor a landscape defined by an extensive network of wetlands and prominent glacial ridges in Penobscot County. The terrain is dominated by the massive Sargent Bog and the meandering course of Dead Stream, which snakes through the central lowlands. Higher ground is found along the North-South orientations of Hudson Ridge and Murch Ridge, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding marshlands like Whitten Bog and Fitz Bog.

A network of local roads such as Bennoch Rd and S Lagrange Rd connect these rural outposts, following the natural contours of the land to avoid the saturated basins. Notable water bodies including Lost Pond, Pickerel Pond, and the isolated Christian Spring highlight the hydrologic character of the region. This 2021 update illustrates a sparsely populated area where the wilderness of the Maine woods remains largely intact, preserve in the intricate drainage patterns of Birch Stream and its various branches.
