1921 Map of Brassua Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Brassua Lake and the winding Moose River anchor this 1921 survey of the Maine wilderness, where early twentieth-century logging and sporting traditions intersect with a growing rail network. The map details a landscape defined by large township-sized grants like Misery Gore and the 10000 Acre Tract, dotted with established camps such as Maynard Camp and Sperry Camp. Transport and industry are evident at the critical rail intersection of the Canadian Pacific and Maine Central at Somerset Junction, a vital node for moving timber and travelers through the region. Water management for power and log driving is highlighted by several structures, including the Brassua Dam and Long Pond Dam. From the high point of Big Squaw Mountain to the shores of Moosehead Lake, the map documents a transition from deep forest to settled farmsteads like Cornish Farm and the local Blaine School.
