1994 Map of Chamberlain Lake

About this map

Chamberlain Lake and the surrounding North Maine Woods are captured here in a period of transition as timber management and conservation efforts defined the landscape. This 1994 update of mid-century data illustrates the vital network of waterways that served the logging industry, including the historic Tramway between Eagle Lake and Chamberlain Lake. The map highlights the sprawling reaches of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and the Gero Island State Reserve Land, alongside established outposts like Churchill Depot and Chamberlain Farm. To the southeast, the boundary of Baxter State Park edges into a terrain of significant peaks such as Russell Mountain and Nuthedus Mountain. For researchers of Maine’s backcountry, the sheet provides a detailed record of the remote depots and landings, like Telos Landing, that once anchored the region's river-driven economy.
