About this map

Pushaw Lake dominates this landscape north of Bangor, serving as a central hub for numerous small shoreline settlements and landings. From Sandy Beach to Lucky Landing and Gould Landing, the map records a pattern of seasonal and permanent habitation that clusters tightly along the water's edge. Further inland, the community of Glenburn Center and the Lakeview Cem mark the agricultural and civic heart of the town of Glenburn.

Wetlands define the margins of the lake, with Hollis Bog, Whitten Bog, and the expansive Caribou Bog illustrating the low-lying, water-rich environment of Penobscot County. The complex hydrology is further detailed by the winding paths of Kenduskeag Stream and Pushaw Stream. The map also captures several named islands, including Squirrel Island and Moose Island, which characterize the lake's northern and eastern reaches.
