1982 Map of Green Lake

About this map

Green Lake and its surrounding highlands dominate this 1982 survey of the interior landscape where Hancock County meets Penobscot County. The settlement at Lucerne-in-Maine sits nestled between the shores of Phillips Lake and the rising slopes of Chase Mtn, featuring a central Golf Course that signals the area's development as a recreational destination. Further south, the Our Lady of the Lake Chapel stands near the shore of Green Lake, while the cross-roads at Wilson Corner provides a gateway to Branch Lake. The terrain is characterized by massive granite-like outcrops such as Big Hill and Bald Mtn, the latter of which serves as a site for a Radio Tower. The Maine Central railroad corridor tracks along the western edge of these lakes, connecting the remote woods and bogs, like Mann Bog and Coon Bog, to the broader regional economy.
