1954 Map of Churchill Lake

About this map

The vast interconnected waterways of the North Maine Woods define this mid-century survey, centered on the critical portage and transit points between the Great North Woods lakes. A notable industrial artifact, the Tramway remains indicated between Eagle Lake and Chamberlain Lake, a relic of the era when timber was moved between watersheds to reach different mills. The map also records the infrastructure of the Maine Forest Service and early sporting camps, such as the Lookout Tower on Soper Mtn and remote outposts like Zeigler Camp Ground.
