1986 Map of Shin Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The connected waters of Upper Shin Pond and Lower Shin Pond anchor this landscape in northern Penobscot County, illustrating a wilderness shaped by glacial hydrology and logging interests. The map documents a rugged interior divided by township lines such as t6 r7 Wels and M O U N T C H A S E, where elevation varies from the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain to the wetlands surrounding the Seboeis River. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the shore of the upper pond, while the network of named brooks—including Shin Brook, Sucker Brook, and Ragged Brook—suggests the intricate drainage patterns critical to local navigation and early timber transport. Landforms like Davis Ridge and Allen Hill provide topographic context for this remote Maine region as it was surveyed in the mid-1980s.
