1955 Map of Orland

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lucerne in Maine and the surrounding Hancock County highlands are defined by an intricate network of glacial ponds and granite peaks in the mid-1950s. The Maine Central RR cuts through the northern landscape near Holden Sta, serving a region where early industry and recreation converged. Further south, the Annear Copper Mine sits near the head of the Bagaduce River drainage, while the US Fish Hatchery is established on the shores of Alamoosook Lake. The map reveals a deeply rooted settlement pattern, with family-named landmarks like Cranes Corners and numerous rural burial grounds such as Birch Grove Cem and Back Ridge Cem. The transition from coastal lowlands to peaks like Flying Moose Mtn illustrates the varied terrain that shaped Orland's early roads, including the Acadia Highway and Memorial Highway.
