1987 Map of Spring Lake

About this map

The Passadumkeag River flows across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a boundary between Lakeville Plantation and the unorganized territories of eastern Maine. This 1980s survey captures a vast wetland and water-dominant environment, punctuated by the distinctive 1000 Acre Heath and the interconnected waters of the Pistol Lake chain. The topography reveals a network of glacial lakes and streams, including Spring Lake and the various branches of Lower Pistol Lake, Middle Pistol Lake and Upper Pistol Lake. To the south, the terrain rises toward Duck Mtn, overlooking Nicatous Lake and its northern inlets. The map provides clear evidence of the complex drainage patterns of the region, from the winding Nicatous Stream to the isolated waters of Trueworthy Pond and Porter Pond.
