1954 Map of North East Carry

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lake Moosehead North Bay dominates the southern reaches of this Maine timberland survey, where the historic North East Carry portage connects the massive lake to the West Branch Penobscot River. The landscape is a network of logging history and remote outposts, including the Smith Halfway House and Penobscot Farm. Water management for the timber industry is evident through several river controls such as Cassidy Dam, Seboomook Dam, and the Old Roll Dam. The map details the transition from the open waters of Lobster Lake and its distinctive Big Island to the higher elevations of Norcross Mtn and Lobster Mountain. Significant land grants and township boundaries, such as the East Middlesex Canal Grant and Days Academy, illustrate the complex historical property divisions that define this region of the North Woods.
