1954 Map of North East Carry

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Maine wilderness survey, where the historic portage at North East Carry links the head of the lake to the West Branch Penobscot River. This region represents a critical junction in the 1950s logging economy, illustrated by the complex network of private roads and jeep trails connecting remote outposts like Smith Halfway House, Penobscot Farm, and Folsom Farm. The transition from natural water levels to managed reservoirs is evident at Seboomook Lake, held by the Seboomook Dam, and further north at Cassidy Dam on the Russell Stream. The map also delineates the precise boundary between Somerset and Piscataquis counties, cutting across a terrain of isolated peaks like Norcross Mtn and Little Spencer Mtn and ancient land divisions such as the East Middlesex Canal Grant.
