  • 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.

  • Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries
    A/MA. a/os NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources Program Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries May 1 994 U.S. Department of Commerce QL. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Ocean Service NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources Program The Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) was created in response to the need for comprehensive information on the effects of human activities on the nation's coastal ocean. The SEA Division performs assessments of the estuarine and coastal environments and of the resources of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In June 1 985, NOAA began a program to develop a comprehensive information base on the life history, relative abundance and distribution of fishes and invertebrates in estuaries throughout the nation (Monaco 1986). The Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) program has been conducted jointly by the SEA Division, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and other agencies and institutions. The nationwide ELMR data base was completed in January 1 994, and includes data for 1 35 species found in 1 22 estuaries and coastal embayments. Eight reports and reprints are now available free upon request, and another is scheduled for completion in 1 994 (see below). This report, Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries, summarizes information on the distribution and abundance of 58 fish and invertebrate species in 1 7 North Atlantic estuaries. A national report summarizing the data and results from the program will be published in 1 995.

    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. HANS TOOM ERIC HYNES Eight of the rare birds used to identify IBAs in Maine (clockwise from left): Short-eared owl, black-throated blue warbler, least tern, common moorhen, scarlet tanager, harlequin duck, saltmarsh sharp-tailed sparrow, and razorbill.

  • POLICY of MAINE, 1620-1820 by MARGARET FOWLES WILDE a THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree
    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.
