About this map

Aziscohos Lake and the winding Cupsuptic River dominate this landscape of the Maine North Woods, surveyed in the early 1930s. The region is characterized by a dense network of sporting camps, warden outposts, and seasonal retreats, reflecting its history as a premier destination for wilderness recreation. Notable landmarks such as the Parmachenee Club on Parmachenee Lake and the curiously named Moochers Home near the Cupsuptic Sporting Camp highlight the localized human presence within the townships of Lynchtown, Upper Cupsuptic, and Lower Cupsuptic.

The terrain is defined by the Kennebago Divide and peaks like West Kennebago Mtn and Thrasher Peaks. This era shows a working forest economy and conservation infrastructure, marked by the Cupsuptic Nursery, the Game Wardens Camp, and a Fire Tower on the heights. A primitive Tote Road and numerous camps, including Riverside Camp and Otter Camp, suggest a time when access was primarily via waterways and logging tracks before the expansion of modern road systems.
