1954 Map of North East Carry

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

North East Carry occupies a strategic portage point between the northern waters of Moosehead Lake and the West Branch Penobscot River during the mid-1950s. This survey, based on early-1950s aerial photography, documents the remote logging and sporting landscape of the Piscataquis and Somerset Co border. Small settlements and specialized locations such as Seboomook, Penobscot Farm, and the Folsom Farm indicate the seasonal and agricultural activity that supported the region's timber industry. The waterways are central to the map's character, featuring infrastructure like the Old Roll Dam, Seboomook Dam, and Cassidy Dam on the Elm Stream and West Branch Penobscot River. Terrain landmarks like Eagle Mtn and Norcross Mtn rise above North Bay, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the intricate shorelines of Lobster Lake and its surrounding peaks, including Lobster Mountain.
