1988 Map of Brookton

About this map

Brookton serves as the primary center of activity in this northern Maine landscape, where the waters of Baskahegan Lake and the Baskahegan Stream dominate the local geography. The map reveals a transition from organized settlements like Eaton to more specialized areas such as Kinney Nation, reflecting the area's timber and recreational history. Detailed shoreline features along the lake, including the humorously named Uncle Sam Cove, Knownothing Cove, and Abraquidassat Point, provide high-resolution data for those studying the irregular geography of the region's inland waters. Inland, the terrain is marked by significant wetlands such as Webber Bog and the dramatic Hells Rapids, indicating the varied and often challenging nature of the waterways. This provisional survey captures the intersection of small-town life and the extensive hydrological networks that define this portion of Washington County.
