About this map

Pushaw Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this Penobscot County landscape, reflecting a mid-1970s balance between seasonal recreation and local rural life. The eastern shore is characterized by numerous landings, such as Old Town Landing and Lakeside Landing, while the presence of a Seaplane Base at French Pt underscores the importance of water-based transport in this region. Inland to the west, Glenburn Center serves as a local hub with its Glenburn Sch and Lakeview Cem, connected by a network of rural roads like Lakeview Road and Pushaw Road.

The western edge of the map features the Bangor and Aroostook rail line cutting through the terrain near Kenduskeag Stream. Extensive wetland systems, including Caribou Bog and Hollis Bog, surround the lake, highlighting the drainage patterns of Pushaw Stream and Dead Stream. The map also captures small residential clusters like West Old Town and Villa Vaughn, offering a detailed look at property divisions and local landmarks before later 20th-century development altered these woodlots and shorelines.
