Old Town
Old Town lies along the Penobscot River in central Maine, where forested lowlands and broad river channels shape the setting around this small city. The river has long been central to the Penobscot people, whose reservation on Indian Island lies in the waterway beside Old Town. The city developed through lumber and paper manufacturing, drawing on the Penobscot’s flow and the timber of Maine’s interior. It is also the birthplace of Old Town Canoe, founded here in 1898 and closely associated with Maine-made paddling craft. Interstate 95 runs west of the built-up centre, linking Old Town with Bangor and the wider north–south route through the state.

Tucked along the Penobscot River in central Maine, Old Town is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s islands, currents and long connection to canoe travel. Indian Island, in the river beside the city, is home to the Penobscot Nation, whose people have maintained a deep relationship with this watershed. Old Town Canoe was founded here in 1898, and its name became familiar far beyond Maine through wooden and later modern watercraft. The city sits just north of Bangor, in the Penobscot Valley, where forested interior Maine meets a major river route toward the coast.

Atlantic coastline and extensive northern forests define much of Maine - fishing ports, boatbuilding communities and the forest-products industry have long shaped the state’s economy and identity. The Gulf of Maine cuts into a rugged shore of islands, peninsulas and tidal inlets, while the Penobscot River runs from the interior toward Penobscot Bay. Inland, Baxter State Park contains Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island protects granite headlands and coastal woodland. Maritime traditions remain tangible in Maine’s lobster fishery, and Portland Head Light, completed in 1791, stands near Portland as a historic beacon.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
