1989 Map of Caratunk

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Caratunk and the surrounding wilderness of Somerset County are defined by the winding course of the Kennebec River, which expands here into the waters of Wyman Lake. This 1989 provisional survey shows a landscape of water and high ridges, where the Appalachian Trail crosses the river corridor near the settlement. The map provides clear evidence of the region’s dual identity as both a recreational corridor and a site of industrial extraction, marked by a series of Gravel Pits and Shale Pits alongside a noted Historic Site near the lakeshore. Dense topographic contours trace the rise of Moxie Mountain and Black Nubble, framing a network of smaller water bodies such as Pleasant Pond, Chase Pond, and Macdougall Pond. This specific moment in the late 1980s documents the local infrastructure of the river valley, from the small Cem near the village to the Boat Launch facilities that serve the lake.
