1954 Map of Seboomook Lake

About this map

Pittston Farm stands as a focal point of human activity at the confluence of the North Branch and South Branch of the Penobscot River. This mid-century survey of the Maine North Woods illustrates a landscape defined by industrial and recreational water management, centered on the sprawling Seboomook Lake. The map details a complex network of timberlands divided into historical townships such as Pittston Academy, Soldier Town, and the West Middlesex Canal Grant. These boundaries, along with private logging roads and portages like the North Branch Carry Bk, trace the commercial heritage of the Somerset County wilderness. Elevation markers and terrain features like Seven Mile Hill and Seboomook Mtn provide a clear view of the topography before modern developments altered the character of the remote interior.
