About this map

Springfield serves as the primary hub in this Penobscot County landscape, situated at the junction of Main St and Park St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of north-south elevations, including Kirkland Ridge, Crane Ridge, and Tucker Ridge, which dictate the drainage patterns of the region's complex water system. Small bodies of water like Webster Pond and Cole Pond are tucked between these heights, while numerous brooks and streams such as Bearse Brook and W Br Mattagodus Stream wind through the valleys.

Local transport is marked by historic thoroughfares like Old Winn Rd and the curiously named Ghost Rd. The area's hydrology, characterized by the East Branch Mattakeunk Stream and Wrights Mill Stream, points to a history shaped by small-scale milling and timber. This map provides a clear view of the rural road network and the natural topographical barriers that have influenced development in this part of Maine.
