1942 Map of Orland

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Alamoosook Lake and the surrounding coastal highlands define this 1942 survey, where the Penobscot and Hancock County line divides a landscape of deep glacial ponds and prominent peaks. The map records the interior of Hancock County just before the mid-century, highlighting a network of small settlements such as Bucks Mills, East Orland, and North Ellsworth. Of particular interest to local historians is the presence of the U S Fish Hatchery near Alamoosook Lake and another location on Green Lake, indicating the region's early 20th-century focus on fisheries and conservation. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Flying Moose Mountain and Bald Mountain, which overlook a dense concentration of water bodies including Phillips Lake and Upper Patten Pond. The road system of the era connects these remote communities, linking Orland with the rising developments at Harts Corners and East Holden.
