About this map

The Mattawamkeag River and its West Branch carve through a landscape of ridges and low-lying wetlands in this pre-war survey of Penobscot County. The village of Springfield serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities like Carroll and Prentiss. This era represents a time when rural life revolved around a dense network of local education, evidenced by more than ten distinct schoolhouses such as Gates Sch, Webster Sch, and Cole Sch. To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex system of interconnected waters including Sysladobsis Lake and Lombard Lake. Local industry and agriculture are represented by features like Oak Min and family-held lands such as Budge Farm and Curry Farm, providing a detailed look at the human footprint within the Maine woods before mid-century modernization.
