About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this portion of Maine, with its various islands, such as Snow Island and the Brown Islands, noted as part of the Penobscot Indian Reservation. This 1960 field-checked survey highlights the rail-dependent economies of the era, where the Maine Central and Canadian Pacific lines parallel the river and connect settlements like Winn, Lincoln Center, and North Lincoln.

Away from the riverbanks, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and modest elevations, including Madagascal Pond and Rollins Mtn. Local infrastructure is well-documented for the time, featuring neighborhood landmarks like the Marianne Sch and Burr Sch, alongside several rural burial grounds such as North Chester Cem and Woodlawn Cem. The presence of the Lookout Tower on Rollins Mtn and the Transalpine Road indicates the active forest management and transportation routes vital to these communities in the mid-20th century.
