1986 Map of Lac Etchemin

About this map

The St John River and its intricate network of tributaries define this remote section of Somerset County, Maine, during the mid-1980s. This planimetric survey documents a landscape dominated by the timber industry and the international boundary between Quebec and Maine. The presence of Billy-Jack Depot and La Croix Depot highlights the infrastructure of industrial forestry, where these remote outposts served as hubs for activity in the deep North Woods. The map details the drainage patterns of the Southwest Branch St John River and the headwaters of the North Branch Penobscot River, illustrating how the waterways dictate the transit routes through the township-and-range grid. High points like Hardwood Mountain and Hurricane Hill overlook a mosaic of wetlands including Big Bog and Little St John Lake, providing a clear record of the region's topography before more modern shifts in land management.
