1989 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point of this late-twentieth-century study of the southern tip of Moosehead Lake. The landscape transition from the developed waterfront at Greenville Junction to the timbered heights of Rum Mountain and Scammon Ridge reflects the region's dual identity as a transportation hub and a gateway to the Maine woods. The map tracks the complex hydrology of the area, including the flow of Wilson Stream and the Piscataquis River, alongside cultural markers like the Greenville Municipal Airport and the local Cemetary. Residential clusters such as The Highlands and Harfords Point illustrate the concentrated settlement patterns around the lake's coves, while more distant points like Upper Shirley Corner and East Shirley Bog mark the shift into the sparsely populated townships of Shirley and Elliottsville.
