About this map

Pittston Farm stands as a focal point of human presence in this mid-century wilderness, situated at the confluence where the North Branch Penobscot River meets the Penobscot River. This area of Somerset County is defined by the expansive waters of Seboomook Lake, managed via the Canada Falls Dam to the west. The landscape is a network of township boundaries and large water bodies, including portions of Moosehead Lake at Socatean Bay.

The surveying reflects a region shaped by timber and water management, with numerous named streams like Socatean Stream and Tomhegan Stream feeding the larger basins. Significant elevations like Seboomook Mtn and Sevenmile Hill overlook a mosaic of ponds and wetlands, such as the Socatean Ponds and Dipper Pond. The prevalence of private roads throughout the townships of Plymouth and Soldier Town underscores the working nature of these forests during the 1950s.
