1954 Map of Chesuncook

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Chesuncook Village sits at the northern reaches of the Chesuncook Lake reservoir, serving as a rare point of settlement in this Maine North Woods wilderness. The 1954 landscape is defined by its extensive logging history and water management, visible through the complex network of Carry trails and Abandoned routes that once supported the timber industry. A massive State Game Refuge encompasses Gero Island, preserving a significant portion of the lake’s interior. To the north, Chamberlain Farm stands as a lonely outpost on the shores of Chamberlain Lake, while the Penobscot River West Branch flows past Rocky Rips and Fox Hole Rips. Geologists and historians can trace the transition from river-driven logging to a more regulated lake system through features like Graveyard Pt and various spillways maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Geological Survey.
