1954 Map of Shin Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Seboeis Farm and the Seboeis Fish and Game Club Camps sit within a landscape of remote woods and interconnected waterways defined by the Seboeis River and the East Branch Penobscot River. This mid-century survey reveals the infrastructure of Maine's north woods, where the Matagamon Tote Road and Grand Lake Road provided essential access for logging and sportsmen. The topography is dominated by peaks like Mount Chase and Snowshoe Mtn, while the interior is punctuated by numerous "deadwaters" and "rips," such as Hobart Deadwater and Tiger Rips. These labels reflect a specific vernacular of the river-driving era, marking areas where current slowed or water cascaded over rocks. From the Forest Service Camp to private sporting outposts like Bowlin Camps, the map documents a region dedicated to forestry and wilderness recreation.
