1954 Map of Allagash Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Allagash Lake sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, a wilderness landscape defined by an intricate network of interconnected waterways and remote ponds. This part of the North Maine Woods, straddling the Somerset Co Piscataquis Co line, reveals a terrain shaped by lumbering interests and remote management. The presence of the Allagash Lookout Tower on a high point above the lake and a simple Jeep Trail cutting across the western townships underscore the region's primary use for timber surveying and fire prevention during the 1950s. To the north, the massive Chemquasabamticook Lake (Ross Lake) drains through Sweeney Bk, while a chain of ponds—from Upper Russell Pond down to Lower Russell Pond—illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Russell Brook watershed. This map preserves the nomenclature of a vast, unorganized territory before modern access roads altered its character.
