1957 Map of Norris Brook

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

St John River and the Penobscot River headwaters dominate this 1957 topographic study of Somerset County, Maine. The map details a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways including the Southwest Branch St John River and the North Branch Penobscot River. This area, situated along the International Boundary between Maine and Quebec, was primarily managed as timberland, as evidenced by the vast network of unnamed jeep trails and the lack of permanent civilian settlements. Distinctive features like the Big Bog and Little St John Lake emphasize the poorly drained, glacial character of the terrain. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Big Bog suggests local road maintenance or logging infrastructure in an era when this region was remote and accessible only by unpaved tracks.
