1958 Map of Caucomgomoc Lake

About this map

Caucomgomoc Lake dominates this wild expanse of North Woods terrain, serving as the central hub for an intricate system of streams and deadwaters. During this late-1950s period, the landscape remained largely defined by its township-and-range divisions, such as T 6 R 15 Wels, and a network of logging and access routes including a Private Road. Human impact on the hydrology is evident at several control points, most notably Caucomgomoc Dam and Loon Lake Dam, which managed water flow into Caucomgomoc Stream. Higher elevations like Caucomgomoc Mtn and Hurd Mtn overlook a labyrinth of smaller water bodies including Shallow Lake and Poland Pond. The presence of a Campground and Telephone Hill suggests the sparse infrastructure used by forestry workers and visitors in this remote region. Notable features like The Horserace and various deadwaters like Caribou Deadwater highlight the slow-moving, marshy nature of the area's drainage basins.
