Hussey II 1,2 Henry N. Berry IV 1 1 Maine Geological Survey Augusta, Maine 04333 2 Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine 04011 ABSTRACT Bedrock that underlies the area of the Bath 1:100,000 map sheet includes metamorphosed sedimentary and vol- canic rocks of Late Cambrian to Silurian age, gabbroic and granitoid intrusive rocks ranging from Late Silurian to Permian age, and basaltic or diabasic dikes of Mesozoic age. The metamorphic rocks have been assigned to seven tectono-stratigraphic sequences: Central Maine, Falmouth-Brunswick, Casco Bay, East Harpswell, Fredericton, Benner Hill, and Megunticook. These sequences are separated by inferred early tectonic thrust faults and late tec- tonic or post tectonic strike-slip faults of the Norumbega fault zone, so have uncertain relationships to each other. For a few structurally isolated units, the sequence assignment is not clear. Several stages of folding characterize each sequence and are believed to be mostly the result of Late Silurian to Early Devonian phases of the Acadian orogeny. Prograde metamorphism of the volcanic and sedimentary rocks ranges from staurolite grade to sillimanite + K- feldspar grade in a Buchan-type low-pressure metamorphic facies series. Multiple stages of Buchan series metamor- phism are clearly indicated by large muscovite pseudomorphs at Small Point. At the highest grade (sillimanite + K- feldspar), pelitic rocks are extensively migmatized. 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages on hornblende from sequences east of the Flying Point fault suggest that major regional high-grade metamorphism occurred during the Silurian-Devonian Acadian orogeny. Younger hornblende cooling ages from the Falmouth-Brunswick sequence in the Brunswick area suggest a more limited region of high-grade metamorphism of Late Paleozoic age possibly related to the intrusion of Permian

    Vol. I, 2009 Edgecomb Comprehensive Plan 24 PART 4 NATURAL RESOURCES CRITICAL NATURAL RESOURCES MAINE’S GROWTH MANAGEMENT GOAL To protect the state's other critical natural resources, including without limitation, wetlands, wildlife and fisheries habitat, sand dunes, shorelands, scenic vistas, and unique natural areas. TOWN VISION To protect Edgecomb’s critical natural resources within and surrounding Edgecomb’s privately- owned undeveloped and unfragmented lands; Edgecomb’s only great pond, Lily Pond; the town- owned Charles and Constance Schmid Land Preserve as well as Edgecomb’s tidal frontage and its scenic vistas. CITIZENS’ VIEW (SURVEY RESPONSE) ● 58%, or 205 respondents, choose to live in Edgecomb because of its proximity to water, clear skies and starry nights. ● 54%, or 177 respondents, enjoy the respect for privacy in Edgecomb. Unfragmented Parcels ● 71%, or 253 respondents, defined rural as (Source: Beginning with Habitat) “the bulk of our land remaining undeveloped, with large tracts of backland, fields and forests.” ● 28%, or 94 respondents, objected to forestry operations “in their back yard.” ● 54%, or 191 respondents, felt that nature preserves are an acceptable trade-off for lost tax revenue. CONDITIONS AND TRENDS The topography of the upper part of the peninsula comprising the Town of Edgecomb is typical of Maine coastline peninsulas. A gently rolling landscape of rocky, clay soil, remaining from land which was heavily wooded before clearing and settlement of the 18th century, is laid over a granite skeleton. A mixture of second and third growth woodland is broken by the pattern of open fields surviving from 18th and 19th century farms when agriculture and fishing were the major sources of livelihood for inhabitants.

  • Geologic Map of the Portland [15-Minute] Quadrangle, Maine
    / Maine Geological Survey To Accompany Map GM-1. GEOLOGIC 11AP OF THE PORTLAND QUADRANGLE, !1aine by Arthur M. Hussey, II STRATIGRAPHY MERRIMACK GROUP. In Southwestern Maine the Merrimack Group consists of, in ascending stratigraphic order, the Kittery, Eliot, and Berwick Formations. The Formations are dominantly an assemblage of interbedded quartzo- f eldspathic schists or phyllites and calcareous metaquartzite and granu­ lite with minor metapelite and calcareous metapelite. In the Portland quadrangle the Group is represented by the Berwick and Windham Formations, the latter being a new stratigraphic name proposed here for the first time, and tentatively correlated with the Eliot Formation. These two formations crop out over much of the northwestern half of the quadrangle. Ben1ick Formation(DSb). The Berwick Formation has been mapped from the type locality in the Salmon Falls River in Berwick, Maine, northeast into the Portland Quadrangle. Katz (1917) proposed the name Berwick Gneiss for this formation, and because he felt these rocks were more metamorphosed than surrounding rocks, he regarded them to be of Precambrian age. Freedman (1950) renamed the unit the Berwick Formation because of variability of texture and structure of the rock and alternation of lithic types. He clearly pointed out the probable Paleozoic age of the unit. The principal part of the Formation (DSb) consists of thin-to medium­ bedded, occasionally massive, biotite quartzite and quartz-biotite schist containing variable amounts of plagioclase. Locally interbedded with these rock types is quartz-biotite-muscovite schist with very rare garnet and staurolite. Thin calc-silicate beds and pods up to 6" thick, containing hornblende, and occasionally diopside and grossularite, occur sporadically throughout the section, but only locally constitute more than 15% of the sequence.

  • Penobscot Bay Watch
    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

  • HARRIET BEECHER STOWE's the Pearl of Orr's Island
    XlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXlXl Yarns Spun to Order: Harriet Beecher Stowe’s The Pearl of Orr’s Island and the Advent of Maine Summer Tourism Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/tneq/article-pdf/93/1/7/1793446/tneq_a_00792.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 ARRIET BEECHER STOWE’s The Pearl of Orr’s Island, H a pioneering novel in the “local color” genre, was a sturdy bestseller in its time, going through forty editions between and . The height of its popularity coincided directly with the coming of summer tourism to the islands of Maine’s Casco Bay. Especially during a period from the Harpswell Steamboat Company’s founding in to America’s entry into World War I in , thousands of tourists poured onto tiny Orr’s Island each summer hoping to meet favorite characters from Pearl and visit their homes as well as the novel’s outdoor locations. Islanders responded by creating a literal cottage industry, turn- ing their houses into the homes of the Pearl, Captain Kittridge, or Aunt Roxy, charging admission to caves and coves, and even doing some role-playing. Feuds broke out among islanders over the authenticity of these lucrative competing concessions, and the Pearl phenomenon was so pronounced that it even created a rush for summer real estate. In , Minneapolis journalist Frank R. Stockton wrote: “After Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe published her ‘The Pearl of Orr’s Island,’ that neglected piece of insular realty came into the market and for some time the rush to get eligible tracts and lots bore some resemblance to Editions and formats, “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” OCLC WorldCat, https://www .worldcat.org (accessed November , ).

Telehealth is ok for routine monitoring of conditions and can cut down on number of mainland visits but isn’t a replacement for emergency medicine. Technology can be cumbersome and less efficient especially for private practice or if end users don’t have comfort with technology. Biggest challenge for smallest islands, telemedicine is not always useful because mainland providers aren't always on board and generally, going to the mainland just feels more productive if a person is able to get on the boat. Generally, people need and want a face to face with a medical provider.

At Giant’s Stairs, views of bedrock and eastern Casco Bay are easily accessed and enjoyed along an easy half mile loop shoreline path. This 26-acre property was donated to the town in 1910 by Captain Henry and Joanna Sinnett. An additional one-acre parcel was donated to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust by Adelaide McIntosh. Maine Geological Survey Photo by Ian Hillenbrand Ian by Photo Figure 1. Eastern shoreline of Bailey Island, Maine. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Giant's Stairs, Harpswell, ME Maine Geological Survey Geologic Setting The majority of the bedrock exposed at Giant's Stairs is assigned to the Cape Elizabeth Formation, part of the Casco Bay Group. The Casco Bay Group is made up of a series of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that were deposited in the Ordovician, between 450 and 470 Million years ago (West and Hussey, 2016). Rocks of the Casco Bay Group are found in a 100-mile-long northeast-trending belt extending from Portland in the south to just south of Bangor in the north (West and Hussey, 2016).
