About this map

Mount Katahdin towers over the western edge of this mid-1980s planimetric survey, marking the heart of Baxter State Park. This region is defined by a complex network of waterways, from the West Branch Penobscot River feeding into Quakish Lake and Ferguson Lake, to the expansive Millinocket Lake further north. The industrial centers of Millinocket and East Millinocket are clearly detailed, showing the concentration of settlement near the river power sources that drove the local paper economy.

Logistics and transport are central to the landscape, with Interstate 95 cutting through the eastern townships and the Bangor and Aroostook RR connecting rural outposts like Sherman Station and Grindstone. For outdoor historians and hikers, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail is traced as it winds toward its northern terminus, passing through T 3 R 10 Wels and into the wilderness peaks beyond The Brothers and Fort Mtn.
