About this map

The West Branch Pleasant River and the East Branch Pleasant River converge near the rail-heavy corridor of Brownville Junction, defining the industrial and natural geography of this Maine landscape. The presence of Katahdin Iron Works near Silver Lake and Ore Mountain points to the region's metallurgical history, while the surrounding timberlands are crisscrossed by the Hauling Log Road and the Canadian Pacific railroad.

Remote settlements like Barnard and Bowerbank are documented alongside local educational landmarks such as the Williamsburg Sch and Barnard Sch. To the south, Sebec Lake serves as a recreational and transit hub, noted by Steadman Landing and Greeley Landing. This survey captures a transitional moment for the northern woods, where extractive industries like iron mining and logging met the expanding rail networks of the Bangor and Aroostook.
