1953 Map of Stacyville

About this map

The East Branch Penobscot River winds through this mid-century survey of Penobscot County, a landscape defined by the Maine woods' industrial and recreational history. In the east, the settlement of Stacyville sits alongside the Bangor and Aroostook railroad, serving as a gateway to the more remote townships like Soldiertown and Grindstone. The map traces an era of backcountry management and forestry, evidenced by the Deasey Fire Tower atop Deasey Mtn and the Forest Service Camp near Whetstone Falls. Notable family and commercial landmarks such as Hunt Farm and Lunksoos Camp indicate long-standing hubs for logging and sporting. Significant water features like the Wassataquoik Stream and Seboeis River provided the necessary drainage and transport routes for the region's timber heritage, while the Sandbank Trail offers a glimpse into the historic pathwork of the North Woods.
