1983 Map of South Lagrange

About this map

South Lagrange and the small settlement of Gerry anchor this 1980s landscape at the corner of Penobscot County where Lagrange, Bradford, Alton, and Hudson meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and ridges, including the extensive Sargent Bog and the elevated Hudson Ridge. The local economy of the era is evidenced by transportation corridors like Tannery Road and industrial infrastructure such as the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad Grade. Numerous water features, including Pickerel Pond, Holland Pond, and Christian Spring, suggest a landscape shaped by persistent drainage patterns and local water sources. The map also traces an Old RR Grade and the course of the Dead Stream, reflecting the historical movement of timber and materials through this interior Maine woodland.
