1989 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point for this late-century survey of the southern shore of Moosehead Lake, where the community's connection to the northern Maine woods is evident in the transition from town streets to the waters of West Cove. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Piscataquis River originating in the south while numerous smaller bodies like Sawyer Pond and Salmon Pond are tucked into the high ground. The layout of Greenville Junction and the presence of the Greenville Municipal Airport reflect the area's role as a regional transportation hub for forestry and recreation. To the east, the terrain rises toward Rum Mountain, while the southern reaches near Upper Shirley Corner and East Shirley Bog show a more subdued, marshy topography. This era of mapping documents the established boundaries of Elliottsville Plt and Shirley, capturing the footprint of these timber-country outposts before further modern development.
