1986 Map of Hay Lake

About this map

Seboeis Farm and the Forest Service Camp represent the few named outposts in this northern Maine landscape during the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a complex network of wetlands and moving water, where Sawtelle Brook and the Upper Seboeis River define the local topography. Notable natural landmarks include the Seboeis River Gorge and the sharp elevation of Snowshoe Mountain in the north. The area is characterized by numerous slow-moving water bodies such as Hobart Deadwater and Sawtelle Deadwater, suggesting a terrain shaped by low gradients and seasonal shifts. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Sand & Gravel Pit, while recreational points like the Boat Ramp on Hay Lake indicate the region's use for outdoor access within the vast timberlands of Penobscot County.
