1951 Map of Norcross

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Pemadumcook Lake and Ambejejus Lake form a massive, interconnected waterway at the heart of this North Woods survey, reflecting the complex lake-and-river network of the West Branch Penobscot River. This 1951 field-checked map illustrates the importance of the logging industry and early interior transport through features like The Boom House and Stephensons Landing. The southeastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line, which facilitated movement through the region via stops at Norcross, Ingalls Siding, and West Seboois. The landscape is characterized by its township and range divisions, including T4 Indian Purchase and Hopkins Academy Grant (West), highlighting the historic land grant patterns of northern Maine. From the lookout tower atop Ragged Mountain to the remote Buckhorn Camps, the map documents a wilderness transitioning from raw timberland to a managed forest and recreational destination.
