Medway: I-95 Mile 244 NB

Few communities in Maine have a history as closely tied to the Penobscot River timber trade as Medway. The town occupies the meeting point of the East and West Branches, whose waters join here to form the Penobscot River before continuing south through central Maine. For generations, this was working river country: logs from the northern woods moved downstream, and Medway developed around the transport and processing economy they supported. Today it remains a practical base within the Penobscot Valley, with the broad forest country of the Maine Woods close at hand. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Penobscot Valley connects regionally.

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.
