1958 Map of Chesuncook

About this map

Chesuncook Village and Chamberlain Farm anchor this 1950s study of the Maine North Woods, a landscape dominated by the expansive Chamberlain Lake and its interconnected waterways. The map details a transition in the wilderness, where a telephone line and various trails and a Jeep Trail intersect the traditional carry routes such as the Carry Trail near Mud Pond. Historical points of interest include Graveyard Point on the shores of Chesuncook Lake, while large-scale conservation efforts are evident in the State Game Refuge on Gero Island. The intricate network of brooks and bogs, including Ellis Bog and Carry Bog, reflects the complex drainage patterns vital to the regional logging and trapping history that defined these townships.
