THE ISLESBORO LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Midcoast setting.
Islesboro town has 14.6 square miles of land in Waldo County. Its Census boundary intersects Midcoast, within Acadian Plains and Hills.
Forested plains and hills contain numerous glacial lakes. Spruce-fir lowlands and hardwood-covered hills create a northern landscape that is generally gentler than the highlands to the west.
Regional context: Acadian Plains and Hills ↗ · Classification from the Census boundary intersection
