2018 Map of Springfield

About this map

Springfield serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of Penobscot County, situated at a junction of regional roads that traverse a landscape of prominent glacial ridges and extensive wetlands. The terrain is defined by elevated features such as Kirkland Ridge, Crane Ridge, and Tucker Ridge, which dictate the paths of early travel routes like Old Winn Rd and Pea Ridge Rd. These ridges are separated by a complex network of waterways, including Mattagodus Stream and the East Branch Mattakeunk Stream. The presence of Wrights Mill Stream suggests a history tied to water-powered industry, while localized basins like Cole Pond and Holt Pond break the forest cover. This survey captures the rural character of Maine's interior, where land use follows the natural drainage patterns of Bog Brook and Gott Brook amidst the undulating topography of the north woods.
