About this map

Whiting and the neighboring settlements of Edmunds and North Trescott sit at the intersection of Downeast waterways and granite hills. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, evidenced by Crane Dam, Orange River Dam, and Mill Dam, which regulate the flow from the Orange River Reservoir and Crane Mill Brook Reservoir toward Whiting Bay. These reservoirs and dams indicate a long history of water-powered industry and tidal influence in Washington County.

The coastal geography is marked by numerous family-named points and islands, including Freds Islands, Bar Island, and Gravelly Point. Inland, the terrain rises to peaks such as Pughole Mountain and Yellowbirch Mountain, while drainage follows corridors like East Stream and Hobart Stream. The road network, including Old Cutler Rd and Tide Mill Rd, reflects the coastal orientation of the local economy and the proximity to the jagged Maine shoreline.
