2014 Map of Wytopitlock

About this map

The Mattawamkeag River snakes through this remote Maine landscape, where the borders of Aroostook, Washington, and Penobscot counties converge. This 2014 survey documents the small settlements of Wytopitlock, Bancroft, and Upper Drew nestled along the river corridor and local transport routes like Bancroft Rd and Main St. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Spofford Ridge and Sherwood Mountain, while the hydrology is marked by numerous watercourses including Palmer Deadwater, Finn Brook, and Wytopitlock Stream. Genealogists will find the Wytopitlock Cem located just north of the village. The presence of Mill Priviledge Brook suggests the historical industrial use of local water power in this timber-rich region, while the network of unpaved ways like Baskhegan Rd indicates the ongoing importance of forest access and land management in the northern woods.
