2011 Map of Wytopitlock

About this map

Wytopitlock and Bancroft center this topographical study of southern Aroostook County, where the Mattawamkeag River meets a network of vital northern brooks. The map documents a landscape defined by its timber and river history, with several roads like Sawmill Rd and Baskahegan Rd hinting at the region's logging heritage. Significant elevation changes are marked by Spofford Ridge to the north and the uniquely named Sweet Chopping Ridge in the south, overlooking the confluence of the river and Mill Priviledge Brook. Small settlements like Upper Drew provide fixed points for genealogists tracing families in the Reed Plantation area. The intricate waterways, including Wytopitlock Stream and Joe Coro Brook, illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated movement and settlement in this part of Maine.
