About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the dominant geographic and industrial spine of this region, separating the settlements of Veazie and Orono to the north from Eddington to the east. The river's utility is underscored by the Hydro-Power Dam located near the town center of Veazie, a testament to the long-standing relationship between local industry and the water's flow. Moving south along the riverbanks, the map captures the community of North Brewer and the transition into more rural, undulating terrain.

Elevations vary significantly across the landscape, from the prominent Kittridge Bowl in the northwest to the peaks of Buck Hill, Coffey Hill, and Mann Hill. Waterways like Eaton Brook and Meadow Brook drain the interior, leading toward the wetlands of Cummings Bog. Local landmarks such as the Drive-In Theater and several clusters of Radio Towers provide concrete markers of the late 20th-century social and communication infrastructure in Penobscot County.
