1982 Map of Bucksport

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the dominant industrial and geographical artery of this coastal region, separating the steep terrain of Waldo Co from the developed hub of Bucksport. In the early 1980s, the landscape reflected a complex mix of heavy industry and preservation, notably the Industrial Waste Ponds situated near the riverbanks and the expansive Fort Knox State Park guarding the narrows. The map captures the specialized transport networks of the era, including the Bangor and Aroostook and Maine Central rail lines that serviced the riverfront. Away from the water, the geography rises into significant peaks like Heagan Mtn and Eustis Mtn, while the Sandy Point Game Management Area occupies the southern peninsula. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of established landmarks such as the Prospect Ferry crossing and the Silver Lake Cem overlooking Silver Lake.
