Explore Lincoln, Maine, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lincoln, Maine. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Maine or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Lincoln.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Lincoln emerges from the dense spruce-fir forests as a quiet assembly of cedar and brick, defined by the persistent flow of the Mattanawcook Stream. It lies 41.0 miles north-northeast of Bangor, ME (from Bangor, ME: bearing 19°T), and is situated 34.1 miles north-northeast of Orono. The landscape spreads in a series of wooded plateaus and low, timbered valleys, with the dark, reflective surface of Mill Pond resting at the center of the settlement. To the west, the long, muted silhouette of Blackman Ridge breaks the horizon, its crest often blurred by the low-hanging mists that migrate through the timber. The air here holds a distinct, resinous clarity, especially in the cooling hours of the afternoon when the sunlight loses its intensity and pulls the long shadows of the pines across the forest floor.
Lincoln carries the weight of a working history, having long centered its livelihood on the turning of timber and the operation of mills that once harnessed the local waterways. While the industrial pulse has softened over the decades, the character of the place remains tied to the land and the quiet endurance of those who harvest its resources. Residents often look toward the distant terrain of the Cold Stream/Ayers Brook Preserve for recreation, finding a rare stillness in the protected woods that feels removed from the mechanical hum of the main thoroughfares. Life in Lincoln moves with the deliberate rhythm of the seasons, where the approach of winter dictates the pace of labor and the deep, silent frost settles over the fields long before the spring thaw brings the water back to its full, rushing height.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
