1900 Map of Orland

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

The Maine Central railroad cuts a distinctive path through the rugged terrain of Hancock County, connecting scattered lakeside settlements around the turn of the century. This survey highlights an era of active land and water resource management, prominently featuring the U.S. Fish Hatchery near Green Lake. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Dead River and numerous water bodies like Phillips Lake and Brewer Pond providing the framework for early communities such as Bucks Mills and East Holden. Inland hubs like Dedham and North Orland are shown before the expansion of modern highway systems, revealing the original wagon road networks that linked these towns to the larger port of Ellsworth. Genealogists will find interest in the specific placement of the Lake House and the small hamlet of Nicolin, which served the railroad line as it skirted the edge of Mann Bog.
