1955 Map of Orono

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Indian Island and the Penobscot Indian Reservation sit at the heart of this mid-century landscape, where the Penobscot River and Stillwater River define the industrial and academic character of the region. The map documents the extensive grounds of the University of Maine and the University Forest, alongside the river-driven industry at Great Works and Basin Mills. Beyond the collegiate and industrial centers of Orono and Old Town, the topography shifts into the expansive wetlands of Caribou Bog and Sunkhaze Meadows. To the east, the landscape becomes increasingly wooded and dotted with water bodies like Chemo Pond and Davis Pond. Local history is preserved through scattered rural outposts such as French Settlement, Clewleyville Corners, and the remote John Baker Camp, while the Maine Central RR provides the primary transit link through the river valley.
