Abstract
Peat deposits in and near Piscataquis and Somerset Counties and northeastern Aroostook County, Maine, were investigated for their estimated potential as peat resources suitable for energy, horticultural, and agricultural uses. Fifty sketch maps illustrate the areal extent, thickness, and amount of commercial-quality peat. The total yield is estimated at 23,908,000 short tons air-dried peat.
