1958 Map of Caucomgomoc Lake

About this map

Caucomgomoc Lake dominates this 1958 survey of the Maine North Woods, a landscape defined by its complex network of waterways and timber-management infrastructure. The topography is shaped by prominent peaks such as Caucomgomoc Mtn and Mucalsea Mtn, while the human presence is marked by several dams, including Caucomgomoc Dam and Loon Lake Dam, which regulate the flow through Caucomgomoc Stream and various deadwaters. The region's isolation and reliance on resource extraction are evident in the presence of a Private Road network and Gravel Pits scattered near the stream beds. These features, alongside specialized topographical descriptors like The Horserace and Cassidy Deadwater, illustrate the specific terminology used by woodsmen and hydrologists in the mid-century Maine wilderness.
