1948 Map of Orland

About this map

Phillips Lake and the Maine Central railroad tracks define the landscape of the northern Hancock County interior during the mid-1940s. The resort character of Lucerne-in-Maine contrasts with the surrounding network of crossroads communities like Winkumpaugh Corners, Harts Corners, and Five Mile Corners. This era reveals a transition from traditional land uses toward a more recreational economy, though industrial roots remain visible at the Annear Copper Mine near the southern boundary. To the west, Orland and East Orland are established hubs near the Penobscot County line, supported by a dense concentration of local landmarks such as East Bucksport Ch and several family burial grounds, including Oak Grove Cem and Evergreen Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology between Green Lake and Branch Lake, showing the many bogs and ponds that shaped local travel and settlement patterns.
