1978 Map of Rainbow Lake East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The West Branch Penobscot River winds through the northern reaches of this Maine landscape, captured in a late 1970s orthophotoquad. This aerial perspective emphasizes the dense forest cover and complex hydrological network of the region, where Rainbow Lake dominates the central terrain. To the south and east, a chain of glacial waters includes First Debsconeag Lake, Third Debsconeag Lake, and Fifth Debsconeag Lake. The imagery reveals the varied timber patterns and landforms, anchored by prominent elevations such as Sentinel Mountain and Rainbow Mountain. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this photographic study provides a direct view of the wilderness as it appeared during the 1978 survey, highlighting the confluence of Nesowadnehunk Stream and the primary river system.
