1978 Map of Harrington Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Chesuncook Dam controls the flow where the massive waters of Chesuncook Lake and Ripogenus Lake meet, a critical node in the timber and hydroelectric geography of the North Maine Woods. This 1978 orthophotoquad captures the landscape as a working forest, showing the stark contrast between the deep waters of Harrington Lake and the surrounding timberlands marked by logging activity. The West Branch Penobscot River winds through the lower portion of the sheet, historically serving as a primary artery for log drives. To the north, the elevation rises toward Soubunge Mountain, overlooking a network of smaller drainages like Soper Brook and Ripogenus Stream. The aerial imagery reveals the geometric patterns of forest management and access roads that define the region's mid-century economy.
