About this map

The Mattawamkeag River snakes through this forested landscape of Reed Plantation, where the small settlement of Wytopitlock and the Wytopitlock Cem serve as focal points for local history. This region is defined by its complex network of waterways, including Wytopitlock Stream, Palmer Deadwater, and the curiously named Mill Priviledge Brook. These features, along with Angus Brook and Carlysle Brook, suggest a history tied to the timber and water power resources of eastern Maine.

Rising above the river valley, prominent terrain features like Sherwood Mtn, Spofford Ridge, and Sweet Chopping Ridge provide a glimpse into the land's topographical character. Further north, the community of Bancroft sits near the confluence of Joe Coro Brook and the river. The map also delineates the meeting point of three counties—Aroostook, Penobscot, and Washington—illustrating how these political boundaries intersect in this rural interior.
