1989 Map of Churchill Lake

About this map

Churchill Depot stands at the northern head of the Allagash Wilderness State Waterway, a critical nexus for forestry and water management in this remote section of Piscataquis County. This 1989 survey documents the infrastructure of the North Maine Woods just before the turn of the 21st century, centered on the expansive waters of Churchill Lake and its connection to Heron Lake via the Concrete and Wood Dam. The landscape is defined by the flow of the Allagash R and the strategic placement of remote outposts like the Zeigler Campsite and Little Eagle Campsite. Further south, the map details the narrow crossing at Johns Bridge, which separates the main lake from the waters of Round Pond and the northern reaches of Eagle Lake. This document provides a clear look at the township boundaries and logging roads that dictate movement through the dense woodlands surrounding Soper Mountain.
