1954 Map of Harrington Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Appalachian Trail hikers in the mid-1950s navigated this remote stretch of the North Woods, winding past Rainbow Lake and Rainbow Mountain. The landscape is dominated by the intricate waterways of the West Branch Penobscot River, where industrial engineering met the wilderness at the Ripogenus Dam and Chesuncook Dam. This survey captures the region as it functioned for both forestry and early conservation, with a Forest Service Camp and a Ranger Station positioned to monitor the vast timberlands.
