1955 Map of Orland

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The rugged landscape of Hancock and Penobscot Counties is defined by a dense network of glacial ponds and granite peaks during the mid-1950s. Phillips Lake and Green Lake dominate the northern terrain, while the Maine Central railroad cuts through the interior near Lucerne-in-Maine. The area south of Great Pond Mtn reveals a local economy tied to both the water and the earth, featuring the U S Fish Hatchery near Alamoosook Lake and the Annear Copper Mine further south. Numerous family-named hills like Condon Hill and Flying Moose Mtn surround small crossroads like Winkumpaugh Corners, while several rural cemeteries such as Back Ridge Cem and Oak Grove Cem provide valuable touchstones for genealogists studying the families of Orland and East Bucksport.
