1988 Map of Norcross

About this map

Norcross sits at the southern edge of a vast island-flecked waterway in the late 1980s, where the waters of North Twin Lake and Elbow Lake converge. This Maine landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, characterized by prominent landmarks like Snake Pt, Haynes Pt, and Perrow Point. The interior is dominated by high ground, including Black Cat Mtn and Hammond Ridge, while the eastern portion of the sheet is traversed by a transmission line and a railroad serving Quakish Siding. To the north, the expanse of Millinocket Lake is dotted with features like Reed Island and Powers Point. The geography here reflects the intersection of managed timberlands and the deep-water lakes of the Penobscot region, partitioned by historic township lines such as T 3 Indian Purchase and T 1 R 8 W E L S.
