About this map

The town of Springfield serves as the primary hub for this Penobscot County landscape, situated at the junction of several historic routes like Lee Rd and Park St. The area is defined by a series of prominent north-south elevations including Kirkland Ridge, Crane Ridge, and Tucker Ridge, which partition a complex drainage network. Water is a central feature of the terrain, with Mattagodus Stream flowing through the northern reaches and the East Branch Mattakeunk Stream cutting across the central lowlands.

Local industry and history are etched into the nomenclature of the waterways and roads, such as Wrights Mill Stream and Old Winn Rd. Extensive wetlands surround features like Bog Brook and Gott Brook, reflecting the quintessential Maine interior. The placement of Cole Pond between the ridges and the network of logging and local roads like Tucker Ridge Rd illustrate a landscape shaped by both its natural hydrology and a long-standing timber and agricultural heritage.
