1957 Map of Brassua Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Canadian Pacific railway cuts a distinct horizontal path through this section of the Maine North Woods, connecting remote outposts like Mackamp, Tarratine, and Somerset Junction. This mid-century revision of 1921 topography illustrates a landscape dominated by timber and water management, centered on the expansive Brassua Lake and its regulated outflow at the Brassua Dam. The village of Rockwood sits at the eastern edge where the Moose River enters Moosehead Lake, serving as a gateway for both industry and wilderness access. Local institutions such as St Josephs Ch, St Josephs Cem, and the Blaine Sch anchor the small community. Further south, the map records the isolated agricultural footprints of Cornish Farm and Milliken Farm set against the significant elevations of Misery Ridge and Williams Mtn.
