Howland
Howland straddles the Piscataquis River in Maine’s Penobscot Valley, and its position near the river’s confluence with the Penobscot has shaped it as a small inland crossroads. Incorporated in 1826, the town developed when the Penobscot river system carried timber and supplies through central and northern Maine. Its settlement stands close to the meeting of the two rivers, with extensive woodland surrounding local roads and riverbanks. Interstate 95 follows the community’s western side, placing Howland on a major route between Bangor and the Katahdin region. The Piscataquis and Penobscot remain defining features of a place closely connected with forests, waterways and transport.

Howland occupies the confluence of the Piscataquis and Penobscot rivers in Maine's Penobscot County. These waterways have long shaped the small community, connecting it with the forested interior and the river route running south toward Bangor. Logging and river transport were central to local development during the 19th century, leaving Howland closely tied to the wider Penobscot watershed. Today, paddlers and anglers use the rivers, while wooded banks and gently rolling terrain define the setting around town. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Maine.

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.
