1957 Map of Brassua Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Brassua Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this mid-century look at Somerset County, where the Moose River feeds a landscape of water and woodland. The village of Rockwood stands on the eastern edge along Moosehead Lake, serving as a focal point with St Josephs Ch, St Josephs Cem, and the Blaine Sch. The map reveals the infrastructure of the wilderness economy, from the Brassua Dam to the remote outposts of Cornish Farm and Milliken Farm. The Canadian Pacific Railroad cuts across the center of the sheet, connecting isolated points like Mackamp, Tarratine, and Somerset Junction. This network reflects an era when rail and river provided the primary access through the townships of Sandwich Academy and Misery, where names like Misery Ridge and Misery Knob speak to the challenging character of the interior Maine woods.
