About this map

Wytopitlock serves as the primary hub of this 2018 survey, situated where Wytopitlock Stream and Angus Brook converge near the Mattawamkeag River. The geography of this region is defined by its complex hydrography and series of ridges, including Spofford Ridge and Sweet Chopping Ridge. The settlement of Bancroft sits further north along the river, connected by Bancroft Rd which follows the winding river valley.

This map captures the intersection of three counties — Aroostook, Penobscot, and Washington — a rare geographical tri-point. Genealogists can locate the Wytopitlock Cem west of the village, while the nomenclature of the waterways, such as Mill Privilege Brook and Palmer Deadwater, suggests a landscape long shaped by timbering and milling history. The presence of Sherwood Mtn and Joe Coro Brook further anchors the local topography with personal and descriptive place-names.
