1954 Map of Shin Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Seboeis River system defines this mid-century landscape in the north woods of Penobscot County, where timber and sporting traditions converge. Tracing the river's course reveals a series of water features and falls, including Shin Falls and the significant Sawtelle Falls. The map documents a rugged wilderness infrastructure dependent on water and primitive transport, evidenced by the numerous deadwaters like Hobart Deadwater and the network of logging routes such as the Matagamon Tote Road. Settlement is sparse and primarily seasonal or resource-focused, featuring several notable sporting and utility outposts. These include the Seboeis Fish and Game Club Camps, Bowlin Camps, and Seboeis Farm. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Mount Chase and Snowshoe Mtn, while the southern portion of the sheet reaches the township of Patten, showing the transition from deep forest to the outskirts of more established rural life.
