1900 Map of Orland

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

The Maine Central R. R. cuts through the high ground of the Penobscot and Hancock county line, linking the rugged glacial terrain of north-central Maine. This 1900 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by interconnected water systems, including Phillips Lake and Green Lake, where the U.S. Fish Hatchery is established on the southeastern shore. Small settlements like East Orland, Dedham, and Bucks Mills are tucked into the valleys between prominent peaks such as Flying Moose Mountain and Bald Mountain. The map details a period when the timber and granite of the hills were being accessed by a growing rail network, yet the geography remained largely defined by the numerous bogs and ponds, such as Mc Gann Bog and Hatcase Pond. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered residential clusters at Harts Corners and Santiago, reflecting the rural habitation patterns of the Maine interior at the turn of the century.
