THE JONESPORT LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Downeast Coast setting.
Jonesport town has 28.5 square miles of land in Washington County. Its Census boundary intersects Downeast Coast, 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
