  • 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.

The importance of the railroad system of Maine, as a means of developing the resources of the State, is becoming more apparent every year. By reason of the facilities it affords, mineral wealth is being uncovered, manufacturers are utiliz­ ing the abundant water powers, and our products are afforded ready markets; and, although in ·obtaining these facilities in some localities, heavy burdens have been assumed by cities and towns, still we think the benefit derived will fully com­ pensate them in the end. We do not, however, wish to be understood as favoring the principle of towns and cities aiding in the construction of railroads. The benefit to be derived by a large portion of the inhabitants of a town, is too remote to justify it in most instances. We again have the pleasure of congratulating the public, and the several railroad corporations operating roads in the State, on the remarkable exemption from any serious casualties during the year.

  • A History in Brief Beginning More with Geologic Upheavals, and Climatic Shifts, Than with Any Settlement, the Presumpscot’S History Has Existed Far Beyond Our Own
    A History in Brief Beginning more with geologic upheavals, and climatic shifts, than with any settlement, the Presumpscot’s history has existed far beyond our own. The European presence along its banks is but a small fraction of its existence, yet it has altered, in many cases irreversibly, what had come to be over many millenniums. The name itself is a glimpse through its now placid waters into the river’s past. The word Presumpscot comes from the native Abenaki-Pennacook people who lived along its banks, and refers to the river as bearing many falls or as a place of rough waters. It was along these falls and at the confluences with its tributaries that the native peoples flourished. They ate from its abundant fishery and grew corn along its banks. For countless generations, the river was their home and sustenance, as it was for the ancestral Native American peoples before them. From Sebago Lake to Casco Bay, different seasons would find them migrating to the most appropriate places along the river, thriving upon the abundant natural resources. In 1623 the English began to explore the Presumpscot when Christopher Levett went up-river "about three miles," or well beyond the first falls. Levett reported that he was very well received by Skedraguscett, the local sakamo. This was the beginning of some thirty years of apparent peace between Natives and newcomers. During this time land deeds were granted, such as Sagamore Scitterygussett’s to fisherman Francis Small, dated 27 July 1657. Over time, however, the Natives suffered more challenges to their existence than they were willing to accept.
