1954 Map of Shin Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Seboeis Farm and the Seboeis Fish and Game Club Camps sit at the heart of this mid-century Maine woodland, where the economy was defined by timber and recreation. This survey captures the intricate water systems of Penobscot County, including the Seboeis River and the expansive Upper Shin Pond. Industrial transport is noted by the presence of the American Thread Company Road, signaling the active logging operations of the 1950s. The landscape is marked by landmarks like Mount Chase and Snowshoe Mtn, while more remote outposts like Bowlin Camps and the Forest Service Camp provide evidence of early forest management and sporting life. Researchers will find a network of logging trails and "tote roads" connecting various deadwaters and rips, illustrating how the wilderness was navigated before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Maine North Woods.
