Marked as a provisional edition, the map belongs to the practical yet visually elegant tradition of USGS quadrangles, where scientific precision is translated into a dense graphic language of contours, shorelines, roads, trails, and wooded terrain. Centered on Greenville, a historic gateway to the Moosehead Lake region, the map captures the area at the close of the 1980s, before later patterns of development, recreation, conservation, and land management further reshaped this northern New England setting. Its muted colors and measured typography give clarity to a rugged landscape defined by water, elevation, and remoteness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenville itself appears as the principal settlement, positioned near the southern reaches of Moosehead Lake, the largest lake in Maine and one of the defining natural features of the state’s interior. Long associated with logging, sporting camps, lake steamers, and wilderness tourism, Greenville occupies a strategic place between settled New England and the vast forested country to the north. The map’s roads and smaller routes trace how people moved through this terrain: along lake margins, toward ponds, over ridges, and into the surrounding woods. Nearby Shirley and Elliottsville add further texture to the human geography, marking smaller communities embedded in a landscape where settlement has always been shaped by water access, forest resources, and the constraints of terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe topographic character of the map is especially compelling. Contour lines gather and spread across the sheet to describe the rise of Big Moose Mountain, the folds of nearby hills, and the valleys that guide streams, roads, and trails. At 1:24,000 scale, the USGS format allows the viewer to read the landscape almost tactically: ridgelines, slopes, wetlands, and passages between water bodies emerge with remarkable precision. Big Moose Mountain, a landmark of the region, anchors the map’s upland drama, while the surrounding contours reveal the irregular, glaciated surface typical of Maine’s interior highlands. This is not merely a map of location, but a record of relief, showing how elevation dictates movement, settlement, views, and access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater dominates the geography, lending the map much of its atmosphere. Moosehead Lake occupies a commanding presence, while Wilson Pond, Hart’s Pond, Pebbly Pond, Indian Pond, and Ebeemee Pond create a constellation of smaller basins across the surrounding country. The Moose River and related waterways suggest the hydrological networks that historically supported travel, timber movement, fishing, and recreation. In this region, lakes and ponds are not incidental features; they are organizing elements of the landscape. Their shorelines determine camp locations, roads, portages, and scenic approaches, while their names preserve layers of local history. The cartographic rendering of these waters, set against forest and contour, conveys the particular richness of Maine’s inland lake country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLily Bay State Park, shown along the Moosehead Lake region, connects the map to Maine’s modern conservation and recreation history. Established to provide public access to one of the state’s great inland waters, the park reflects the growing late twentieth-century recognition of Moosehead’s ecological and scenic value. Trails, minor roadways, and paths on the map hint at the area’s recreational life: hiking toward high viewpoints, reaching remote ponds, exploring shoreline camps, or moving through working forestlands. As a 1989 provisional USGS map, “Greenville” preserves a moment when traditional resource landscapes, rural communities, wilderness tourism, and public conservation all converged. It offers a richly readable image of a place where mountains, forests, lakes, and human routes remain inseparably intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCities, towns and places on this map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreenville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHart's Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoosehead Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Moose Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLily Bay State Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilson Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePebbly Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndian Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbeemee Pond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliottsville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShirley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoose River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoutes and trails, including minor roadways and paths shown on the map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical context \u0026amp; cartographic details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced by the US Geological Survey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDated 1989, with a 1989 imprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical 1:24,000 topographical map of Greenville, Maine, and the surrounding area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked as a provisional map.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses a clear, functional USGS topographic style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows contour lines indicating elevation changes, along with water bodies and forested areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuted color tones improve readability of topographic details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepicts rugged terrain with hills, valleys, and water features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the landscape as it appeared in 1989, before later changes in land use, development, and conservation practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a particular place?\u003c\/strong\u003e Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map.
