1954 Map of Millinocket

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates the northern skyline of this 1950s interior Maine survey, serving as the centerpiece of Baxter State Park. The region's industrial and logistical character is defined by the massive network of lakes and rivers, including Moosehead Lake, Chesuncook Lake, and the Penobscot River, which historically facilitated the timber trade. The map documents the mid-century footprint of manufacturing hubs like Millinocket and East Millinocket, which grew alongside the hydroelectric potential of the river's drops.
