1943 Map of Sebec

About this map

Katahdin Iron Works stands as a focal point in this Piscataquis County landscape, marking a legacy of 19th-century industrial ambition in the Maine woods. The mid-20th-century topography reveals a complex network of resource extraction and transit, where the Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain to serve Brownville Junction. Small rural centers like Barnard and Mooresville are depicted alongside their essential local institutions, including the Barnard Sch and Williamsburg Sch. Along the southern edge, the shores of Sebec Lake are dotted with boat access points such as Greeley Landing and Parson Landing, reflecting the area's transition toward seasonal recreation and timber management. The map details numerous family-named peaks and hills, including Ebeemee Mountain and Silver Lake, illustrating the varied elevations of the central Maine highlands.
