About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the dominant artery through this region of Penobscot County, defining the boundaries between Woodville, Chester, and Winn. The river is characterized by several large islands, including Snow Island and Brown Islands, and the turbulent Sebonibus Rapids. Transport networks are concentrated along this corridor, where the Canadian and Maine railroads parallel the water, connecting settlements like Lincoln Center and North Lincoln.

Inland, the landscape transitions into a dense network of water bodies and elevated ridges. Significant interior features include Madagascal Pond, Mattakeunk Pond, and the Upper Cold Stream Ponds. Local history is preserved in the placement of the Marianne Sch and several family-named landmarks such as Bagley Mtn and Jefferson Mtn. The proliferation of gravel pits and sandpits across the quadrangle indicates the glacial geology and local extractive industry active during this mid-century period.
