1953 Map of Portage

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Bangor and Aroostook railroad defines the transportation corridor of this Northern Maine wilderness, skirting the western edge of Portage Lake and connecting the settlement at Portage. This 1953 revision of earlier surveys reveals a landscape of working forests and remote sporting camps. Historic industry is visible at the Old Shingle Mill and the Lost Pit, while the presence of the Old Chain Bridge suggests older infrastructure over the waterways of T 15 R 5.
