Woodville
The town dominates the west side of the great bend in the Penobscot River just south of Medway where the East and West branches combine. Maine Route 116 leaves the River in Chester and cuts through Woodville to Medway.

Not the site of the 1960’s rock concert (that was New York), Woodstock’s major village is Bryant Pond, named from the adjacent water body. The Pond outlet is the source of the Little Androscoggin River. See photos.

Woodland
With little in the way of a central village, the town lies west of Caribou served by Maine Routes 161 and 228. See photos.

This northern community, in the heart of potato and forest product country, is not to be confused with the village of Woodland in the town of Baileyville.
