  • Geologic Site of the Month: Why Is Sebago Lake So Deep?
    Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities February, 1999 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? 43° 51‘ 13.36“ N, 70° 33‘ 43.98“ W Text by Robert A. Johnston Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Introduction Modern geophysical equipment allows geologists to investigate previously unmapped environments, including ocean and lake floors. Recent geophysical research studied the types, composition, areal extent, and thickness of sediments on the bottom of Sebago Lake in southwestern Maine. Geologists used side- scan sonar and seismic reflection profiling to map the bottom of the lake. Approximately 58 percent of the lake bottom was imaged with side-scan sonar and over 60 miles of seismic reflection profiles were collected. This web site will discuss the findings of the seismic reflection profiling. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Why is Sebago Lake so deep? Maine Geological Survey Physiographic setting Sebago Lake, although second in surface area to Moosehead Lake, is Maine's deepest lake. With a water depth of 316 feet, its deepest part is 49 feet below sea level! Sebago Lake is located in southwestern Maine 20 miles northwest of Portland and 50 miles southeast of the White Mountains. It lies along the transition between the Central Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands physiographic regions of New England (Figure 1). The abrupt change in landscape can be seen in panoramic views from several vantage points near Sebago Lake. Denny, 1982 Denny, Maine Geological Survey From From Figure 1.

  • Motor Camping Through Maine
    View metadata, citation andbrought similar to you bypapers CORE at core.ac.uk provided by Maine State... MOTOR CAMPING THROUGH MAINE Typical Camp Site Maintained by State Forestry Department DISTRIBUTED BY STATE OF MAINE PUBLICITY BUREAU PORTLAND. MAINE UNDER THE PINES OF MAINE HE people of Maine, because of somewhat unsatisfactory experi­ ence developed in other states, have not gone into the establish­ ment of State or municipal camp­ ing sites on a large scale, believing that is was best to proceed slowly that the health of hundreds of thousands of motor­ ists who come into the State for their vacation each summer, as well as of those who live in Maine the year ’round should be properly safeguarded. Some of the cities have opened free municipal camping grounds, having in mind proper attention to sanitation, toilet facilities, places for cooking, police pro­ tection and grounds supervision. Unlike many other parts of the country where you journey for hundreds of miles with no change of scene, Maine offers a new vista every half-hour of motor travel. As the State is made up of a succession of attractive resort places, good hotels, camps and farm boarding places are found in every city, village and hamlet, along the seacoast or beside the waters of lakes and streams. For that reason the motor camper is offered ample oppor­ tunity to get “under cover” at any stage of the journey and many of the hotels have found that it pays them to offer every encouragement to the motor camper who finds that a comfortable bed, a well ordered table and a fireplace in the eve­ ning add much to the pleasure of a vaca­ tion outing.

  • Maine Lakes Report 2012
    Maine Lakes Report 2012 Dear Friends of Maine Lakes, This report on the health of Maine lakes reflects the effort of more than 1,000 volunteer citizen scientists who monitored several hundred lake basins throughout the State in 2012. Many of them have been doing so continuously for decades, and a few have been involved for most of the 42 years since the Maine Legislature officially authorized volunteer lake monitoring. Their work is a strong testimony to the level of public commitment in Maine to our clear, clean lakes, and it is probably not coincidental that our lakes have remained as healthy as they have under the watch of these individuals. The Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program (VLMP) is believed to be the longest-standing statewide citizen lake monitoring program in America, having been formed at about the time of the passage of the historic Federal Clean Water Act. The Mission of the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program is to help protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health. The VLMP trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals. In addition to being the primary source of lake data in the State of Maine, VLMP volunteers benefit their local lakes by playing key stewardship and leadership roles in their communities. Our primary partners are the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency, which provide a wide range of financial, technical and management support to the program.

Page 10 Winter 2016 Free LEA Lake News Success on the Songo River and Brandy Pond! By Christian Oren After eleven summers of hard work, LEA is declaring victory in the battle against milfoil in the Songo River and Brandy Pond. When the project was first begun, huge patches of milfoil as big as football fields choked the entire length of the Songo. Now, boaters can pass through the river without ever seeing a single stalck of the plant. Never before has such a large and extensive invasive aquatic plant infestation been brought under control in the history of the State of Maine. The dozen or so infestations in Brandy Pond were also persistent, but seem to have been quelled by years of repeated harvesting. We declared victory on the Songo for two main reasons. First, the density of milfoil on the entire length of the river was much lower than we had seen in previous years. Even at the height of the growing season, there was only one plant for every 100 feet of shoreline, or less.

  • Wabanaki Place Names of Western Maine
    Wabanaki Place Names of Western Maine Place names are clues for understanding the values and the activities that connect people to a place. Wabanaki peoples inhabit northern New England, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and their place names evoke a particular set of relationships to western Maine.
