1920 Map of Winn

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the primary corridor for commerce and transport in this part of Maine, with the Maine Central and Canadian Pacific railroads flanking its banks. This 1916 survey reveals a landscape of established mill towns and interconnected waterways, where the river's Sebonibus Rapids and several large islands like Snow Island and Hersey Island dictate the movement of timber and goods. Settlements such as Winn, Chester, and Lincoln follow the rail lines, while the interior is dominated by a dense network of ponds, including Mattanawcook Pond, Madagascal Pond, and Mattakeunk Pond. These water bodies, connected by systems like Dead Stream and Rocky Brook, highlight the region's reliance on hydraulic resources for industry. Higher elevations like Bagley Mtn, Jefferson Mtn, and Twombly Ridge provide a topographical backdrop to the logging and farming communities of Webster Plantation and Lee.
