About this map

Springfield and the neighboring townships of Prentiss and Carroll reveal a traditional Maine landscape defined by timber, small-scale farming, and the waterways of the Penobscot and Hancock county border. The area is anchored by the Passadumkeag River and the expansive waters of Sysladobsis Lake and Lombard Lake. Rural education is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by numerous named schoolhouses such as Webster Sch, Cole Sch, and Gowell Sch serving these scattered communities. Settlement patterns follow the ridges and rivers, with landmarks like the Fire Tower on Dill Ridge and distinct agricultural sites such as Bridge Farm and Carry Farm indicating the local economy of the 1930s. The network of roads, including Route 170, connects these remote hamlets through a complex series of glaciated features like Kirkland Ridge and the broad 1000 Acre Heath.
