1954 Map of Seboomook Lake

About this map

Pittston Farm stands as the primary hub of human activity within this mid-century expanse of the Maine North Woods, situated where the South Branch and West Branch meet. The landscape is dominated by the extensive waters of Seboomook Lake and Canada Falls Lake, which are regulated by infrastructure like the Canada Falls Dam. This era of the timberlands is marked by a complex system of private roads threading through numbered townships such as Pittston Academy and Plymouth. Significant elevations like Seboomook Mtn and Sevenmile Hill overlook a dense network of waterways including Socatean Stream and Tomhegan Stream, which flow toward the northwestern reaches of Moosehead Lake at Socatean Bay. The map provides a detailed view of the region's hydrological management and isolated settlements before modern development altered these remote interior townships.
