1960 Map of Millinocket

About this map

Mount Katahdin towers over the northern Maine wilderness in this mid-century topographic record, anchoring the sprawling lands of Baxter State Park. The landscape is defined by the massive watersheds of the Penobscot River and Kennebec River, with the West Branch Penobscot River cutting through a dense network of lakes including Moosehead Lake, Brassua Lake, and Lobster Lake. The industrial hubs of Millinocket and East Millinocket appear as centers of activity near the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, while the Appalachian Trail winds its way through the high ridges of the Passadumkeag Mountains and past Togue Pond Ridge. This survey captures the region's transport network at its peak, showing the Canadian Pacific Railway and Maine Central Railroad servicing timber-reliant settlements like Sherman Station and Mattawamkeag. Smaller farming and logging communities such as Benedicta and Wytopitlock are documented alongside family-history landmarks like Sherman Cem and Milo Cem.
