1963 Map of Big Lake

About this map

Indian Township and the surrounding plantations are defined by a sprawling freshwater network centered on Big Lake, Long Lake, and Lewy Lake. In the mid-1960s, the community of Princeton served as a focal point for the region, featuring St Annes Ch, the Princeton Airport, and the Univ of Maine Forestry Camp situated on Peter Dana Point. The landscape is a mosaic of islands and peninsulas, such as Governors Point and Gordon Island, separated by channels like Fox Passage. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds including Sand Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the Old Crawford Cem near the southern settlement of Crawford. This era shows the developed recreation and education sites alongside traditional landings like Greenlaw Chopping Landing and Red Beach Landing.
