About this work
Sketch of a map showing a part of Penobscot County in Maine, used for one of the artist's trips to Mt. Katahdin, which is prominently featured at center. Other natural features, such as Millinocket Lake or the East Branch of the Penobscot River, and towns, such as Medway and Mattawamkeag, in the region are clearly delineated and labeled. Heavy focus on the area's river system, which resembles veins and capillaries.
