1986 Map of Bowlin Brook

About this map

Bowlin Camps stands as the primary outpost in this northern Maine wilderness during the mid-1980s, situated at the confluence of several waterway networks. The East Branch Penobscot River and the Seboeis River define the local topography, characterized by numerous river hazards such as The Hulling Machine Rapids, Spencer Rips, and the dramatic Grand Pitch Falls. This area, divided into the historical West of the East Line of the State (WELS) townships, shows a landscape dominated by remote lakes and ponds including Lunksoos Lake, Jerry Pond, and Bowlin Pond. The transition from river bottomlands at Gagnon Flat to the higher elevations of Peaked Mountain and Bear Mtn illustrates the varied relief of this logging and sporting region. The map provides a look at the intricate network of brooks and small ponds that feed into the larger river systems, essential for navigating the Penobscot watershed.
