1954 Map of North East Carry

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

North Bay and the upper reaches of Moosehead Lake define this mid-1950s landscape in the Maine north woods. The map highlights the strategic portage point at North East Carry, where the lake nearly meets the West Branch Penobscot River. This region, organized into large townships and grants like the Days Academy Grant and East Middlesex Canal Grant, reflects an era of large-scale timber management and sporting camps. Scattered settlements and landmarks such as Smiths Halfway House, Penobscot Farm, and Folsom Farm suggest the isolated nature of frontier living and commerce along the river routes. To the east, the complex shoreline of Lobster Lake features distinctive landmarks like Big Claw and Little Claw, while Seboomook Lake to the west marks the upper drainage of the Penobscot system.
