Geology of Maine ON THE GEOLOGY OF MAINE 1930-1932 SECOND SERIES By JOSEPH CONRAD TWINEM State Geologist . and EDWARD H. PERKINS Assistant Geologist Augusta 1932 Introduction The bibliography of the Geology of Maine includes publications on economic and historical geology, mineralogy, paJeontology, pe­ trology, physical and physiographical geology and underground waters. In addition many general publications, newspapers and magazine articles are listed if they are of geological importance. This bibliography has been compiled from various sources, includ­ ing bulletins of the U. S. G. S. entitled "Geologic Literature of North America from 1785-1918," Bulletin No. 746, and "The Bibliography of North American Geology from 1919-1928," Bulletin No. 823. Much valuable material was also obtained from Cyrus C. Babb's report on the "Bibliography of Maine Geology," Reprint from the third annual report of the Maine State Water Storage Commission; "The Bibli­ ography of American Natural History" by Max Meisel and the "Sixth Biennial Report of the State Survey Commission, 1909-1910." The author wishes to thank Dr. Edward H. Perkins, Professor of ,, c: Geology "at Colby College for his valuable assistance and contribu- tions to this bibliography. It is hoped, from the large number of requests that are received by the State Geologist, that this Bibliography will, in some measure, be of service and assistance to those interested in the various publi­ cations on the Geology of Maine. --~~~~----........i.111 ________:_ ______________ _...l!

SC 2942^ Introduction Saddleback Mountain is a four-peaked saddle-shapped mountain located 39 km west of Portsmouth, NH (Figure 1). The mountain lies along the boundary between the New England Uplands and the Seaboard Lowlands Sections of the New England Physiographic Province of Fenneman (1938). It also lies adjacent to the western boundary of the Massabesic Gneiss Complex as designated by Anderson (1978). Figure 2 of this text is a generalized Geologic Map of Southeastern New Hampshire compiled from Billings (1956) and later workers cited in the references from Figure 1. Portions of Figure 2 show that the Saddleback Mountain area is on strike with two convergent fault zones which are postulated to be of regional tectonic significance: the Nurambego of southern Maine (Hussey and Pankiwskyj, 1976; Hussey and Newberg, 1978), and the Pinnacle-Campbell-Hill-Hall Mountain Faults mapped by Camein (1976).

  • Stillwater Recertification Attachments 2015
    Stillwater Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2712) Project Description Black Bear Hydro Partners, LLC’s Stillwater Hydroelectric Project is a run-of-river hydroelectric generating facility located on the Stillwater Branch of the Penobscot River in Old Town, Maine with a gross nameplate generating capacity of 4.18 MW. The Stillwater Project Powerhouse A commenced initial commercial operations in 1913. The Licensee applied for an amendment to increase capacity at the Stillwater Project via the construction of an additional powerhouse (Powerhouse B). The Project consists of an existing 1,720-foot-long dam consisting of 13 sections of various height, creating an impoundment with a normal full pond elevation of 94.65 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. The Project has two powerhouses. Powerhouse A consists of four generating units a total installed capacity of 1,950 kW and a maximum hydraulic capacity of 1,700 cfs. Powerhouse B consists of three generating units with a total installed capacity of 2,229 kW and a maximum hydraulic capacity of 1,758 cfs. Powerhouse A has 50 ft long aerial transmission lines installed from the powerhouse’s GSU to the existing substation. Powerhouse B has 300 ft long aerial transmission lines installed from the powerhouse’s generating step-up unit (GSU) to the existing, adjacent 12.5 kV distribution system located adjacent to the existing project boundary and along the south side of Stillwater Avenue. The Stillwater Powerhouse B commenced initial commercial operation September, 2013. The Stillwater Project generates clean, renewable electricity while providing recreational opportunities (portage trail, parking areas for river access and hand-carried boat launch), fish passage measures, consistent water levels that enhance habitats for waterfowl, etc., and substantial support of the local community through stable property tax payments, reliable voltage support of the electrical distribution system, etc.

  • A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
    A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.
