1900 Map of Orland

About this map

Maine Central rail lines bisect this turn-of-the-century coastal Maine landscape, connecting rural outposts and timberlands between the Penobscot River and Union River watersheds. The settlement at Lake House serves as a prominent waypoint along Phillips Lake, while the industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is evident in the scattered hamlets of Bucks Mills, East Bucksport, and North Orland. A significant early conservation landmark, the U.S. Fish Hatchery, is situated on the eastern shore of Green Lake, highlighting the era's focus on managing natural resources.
