2011 Map of The Horseback

About this map

The Horseback glacial ridge forms a central spine through this Maine interior, where logging history and hydrology meet. The settlement of Myra and the clearing at Bragg Camp represent isolated outposts in a landscape dominated by the complex drainage of Sunkhaze Stream and Great Works Stream. To the northeast, Jackson Cemetery provides a quiet genealogical link near the intersection of Myra Rd and Stud Mill Rd. This 2011 survey reveals a territory characterized by significant elevations such as Bald Bluff Mountain and Trout Pond Mountain, which rise above a network of smaller water bodies including Titcomb Pond, Crocker Pond, and Grassy Pond. The prominence of the esker known as The Horseback demonstrates the post-glacial geology that dictated the path of the earliest roads and trails through this part of Penobscot County.
