1957 Map of Norris Brook

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The northern Maine wilderness and the International Boundary between the United States and Canada define this mid-century survey of Somerset County. This landscape is a complex drainage basin where the headwaters of the St John River and the Penobscot River nearly meet. In the northern reaches, the St John is fed by a network of branches including the Southwest Branch and Middle Branch, while the south is dominated by the North Branch of the Penobscot. This area is characterized by vast wetlands like the Big Bog and numerous remote bodies of water such as Dole Pond, Little St John Lake, and Spencer Pond. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Hinckley Hill and Hurricane Hill, with the survey capturing the industrial footprint of a Gravel Pit and a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails that supported the region's logging and conservation activities during the late 1950s.
