About this map

Stetson and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by a network of crossroad settlements and small-scale milling sites across Penobscot County. In the northern reaches, Exeter Center and Exeter Corners provide central nodes for the agricultural upland, while the western edge shows the transition toward Corinna Center. The map reveals an economy historically tied to water power, evident in place names like French Mill on French Stream and Spragues Mill along the Alder Stream.

Genealogical researchers will find several family-named burial grounds tucked into the hills, such as Crowell Cem, Chamberlain Cem, and Morses Corner Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Bragg Hill and Clark Hill, offer a detailed look at the rural geography as it stood in the early 21st century. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the hydrology of Stetson Stream, which feeds into the recreational waters of Pleasant Lake and the marshy edges of Sebasticook Lake near Coburn.
