1954 Map of Churchill Lake

About this map

Churchill Lake and the connected waters of the Allagash wilderness dominate this mid-century survey, documenting a landscape shaped by the historical logging industry. The map captures critical infrastructure from a bygone era of timber transport, most notably the Tramway and the Lock Dam situated between Chamberlain Lake and Eagle Lake. These features, along with several spillways like Spillway Elev 930, indicate the complex water management required to move logs through these northern reaches.
