About this map

The East Branch Penobscot River winds through this 1953 survey, a landscape defined by North Woods logging and early conservation efforts. The settlement of Stacyville sits on the eastern edge near the Cem, while the interior is dotted with remote outposts like Hunt Farm and Lunksoos Camp. Evidence of forest management and industrial use is visible in features like the Fire Tower on Deasey Mtn and the Deasey Dam situated along Wassataquoik Stream.

Tracing the complex waterways, the map highlights significant natural features such as Whetstone Falls and the series of logans including Spring Logan and Beer Logan near Crowfoot Rapids. The presence of a Forest Service Camp and various named mountains like Hathorn Mtn and Wassataquoik Mtn underscores the region's character as a working wilderness during the mid-twentieth century, before many of these private holdings were integrated into larger conservation tracts.
