1957 Map of Tunk Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The coastal inlets and granite peaks of eastern Maine are documented here in the mid-1950s, centered on the complex water systems of Tunk Lake and Donnell Pond. The southern edge of the map shows the tidal activity of Sullivan Harbor and Hog Bay, where settlements like Sullivan and Waukeag are connected by the Maine Central railroad. Moving inland, the landscape rises sharply into the summits of Tunk Mountain and Schoodic Mtn, the latter featuring a Lookout Tower overlooking the surrounding glacial lakes. The settlement patterns reflect a mix of small-town infrastructure and seasonal recreation, evidenced by Buckskin Camp and Big Chief Camps near the water, while the Deblois Airport and a Fish Hatchery near the Narraguagus River show the local economy's intersection with aviation and conservation. Several Quarries near North Sullivan indicate the area's granite industry, a hallmark of this coastal region.
