    / 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.

    irds find Maine attractive for many of the same reasons we do—the state offers a unique blend of landscapes spanning from mountains to the sea, with forests, grasslands, rivers, marshes, and long coastlines in between. B Where we find beautiful places to hike and kayak, camp and relax, birds find the habitat they need for their survival. But while Maine’s diverse habitats serve an important role for over IBAs 400 bird species—some threatened, endangered, or of regional conservation in concern—the state’s not immune to a growing list of threats that puts these birds at further risk. Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due to development, toxins such as mercury and lead, oil spills on the coast and Maine inland waters, and climate change are top among them. BY ANDREW COLVIN In the face of these threats, a crucial step in conserving Maine’s birds is to identify the areas of the state that are most important for breeding, wintering, and migration. After several years of working toward that goal, Maine Audubon Lists Maine Audubon has recently completed the first phase of its Important 22 of the Most Important Bird Areas (IBA) program, identifying 22 areas across Maine that are vital Places in Maine for Vulnerable Birds to state—and even global—bird populations.

    HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 By MARGARET FOWLES WILDE % A., University of Maine, 1932 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History and Government) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono May, 1940 ABSTRACT HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 There have been many accounts of individual settlements in Maine and a few histories of the State, but no one has ever attempted a history of its land policy or analyzed the effect that such a policy or lack of policy might have had on the development of the State of Maine. Maine was one of the earliest sections of the Atlantic Coast 'to be explored but one of the slowest in development. The latter may have been due to a number of factors but undoubtedly the lack of a definite, well developed land policy had much to do with the slow progress of settlement and development of this area. The years 1602 to 1620 marked the beginnings of explorations along the Maine Coast principally by the English and French. In 1603, Henry IV of France granted all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-six degrees north latitude to Pierre de Gast Sieure de Monts. This territory was called Acadia. Soon after, in 1606 King James I of England granted all the lands between the thirty-fourth and forty-fifth degrees north latitude to an association of noblemen of London and Plymouth. Later, King James I of England granted all the lands from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degrees of north latitude to a company called ’’Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon; for planting, ruling, and governing New England in America.” This company functioned from 1620-1635.

NARRATIVE REPORT COASTAL MAINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Jan. - Dec. 1966 General On July 26, 1966 the MBCC authorized the acquisition of the three southern-most units of the Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, specifically the Lower Wells Marsh, the Moody Beach Marsh, and the Brave Boat Harbor Marsh. The refuge was officially established on December 16, 1966 when the first land tract totaling l6 acres on the Lower Wells unit was acquired by the Government. The ultimate acreage to be acquired with duck stamp monies will form a National Wildlife Refuge of approximately 4,308 acres. Since no data was taken for this period, no weather information, wildlife population figures, or narrative report forms will be included in this report. However, an initial section on history, not ordinarily included in a narrative report, will be presented. The Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, lying along the south­ ern coast of Maine will consist of ten units. All are located be­ tween Kittery Point and Portland, Maine along the Atlantic coast east of U.S. Route 1. The southern-most unit is 35 miles north of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and the northern-most unit is 235 miles southwest of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. The individual units are as follows: 1.

  • Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 5 1989 Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine 1 2 Duncan M. FitzGeraui, Jonathan M. Lincoln • 3 1 L. Kenneth Fink, Jr. , and Dabney W. Caldwel/ 1Departm ent of Geology Boston University Boston, Massachusetts 02215 2Department of Geological Sciencies Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 60201 3Department of Geology University of Maine Orono, Maine 04469 ABSTRACT The occurrence of tidal inlets along the coast of Maine is tied closely to the structural geology and glacial history of this region. Most of the inlets are found along the southern arcuate-embayment shoreline where sand sources, consisting of glaciomarine sediments and other glacial deposits, were sufficient to build swash-aligned barriers between pronounced bedrock headlands. Along the peninsula coast of Maine, tidal inlets also occur at the mouths of the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers where large quantities of glaciofluvial sands were deposited during deglacia­ tion. The remainder of the southeastward facing coast was stripped of its preglacial sediment cover by the southerly moving glaciers. The thin tills that were left behind yield little sand and, thus, barriers and inlets are generally absent. Small to large-sized inlets (width= 50-200 m) in Maine are anchored next to bedrock outcrops and are bordered on their opposite sides by sandy spits. Despite the ubiquitous name "river inlet," they normally have little fresh water discharge compared to their salt water tidal prisms. The backbarriers of these inlets are expansive and would produce relatively large tidal prisms if high Spartina marshes had not filled most of the region, leaving little open water area.
