2024 Map of Stetson

About this map

Stetson and the surrounding rural landscape of Penobscot County are defined by a network of historic crossroads and small-scale waterpower sites. The town of Stetson sits at the head of Stetson Stream, which drains from the waters of Pleasant Lake in the southeast. This contemporary survey preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including Crowell Cem, Morses Corner Cem, and Clark Hill Cem, offering a detailed view of the area's genealogical geography. The interior landscape is marked by the expansive Greenbush Swamp and several small ponds like Brooks Pond. In the north, the settlements of Exeter Corners and Exeter Center anchor the agricultural uplands, while former industrial points such as Spragues Mill and French Mill suggest the nineteenth-century milling economy that once utilized the local stream networks like Alder Stream and French Stream.
