1958 Map of Chesuncook

About this map

Chesuncook Village stands as the primary outpost in this remote stretch of the North Maine Woods, situated at the confluence where the Penobscot River meets Chesuncook Lake. The map captures a landscape defined by water and timber, largely organized by the West Easterly Liberty Survey (WELS) townships such as t5 r13 Wels. This era of the late 1950s shows the region before modern industrial forestry roads replaced the older network of water routes and portages, like the noted Carry Trail near Mud Pond.
