About this map

Eagle Lake serves as the central focal point for this Northern Maine landscape, where the waters of the Fish River connect a chain of glacial lakes. Near the southern shore, the settlement of Eagle Lake is established at the mouth of the Nadeau Thoroughfare, which links the larger basin to Saint Froid Lake. This geography defined the early development of Aroostook County, as seen in the clustered local street names and the presence of Saint Marys Cem and Longfellow Cem.

Further north, the community of Plaisted sits at the head of the lake, where Clark Brook and Gilmore Brook enter the valley. The map details a complex shoreline marked by numerous family-named landmarks, such as Seymours Point, Roys Point, and Belanger Point. Higher elevations to the east are punctuated by smaller water bodies including Blake Lake and the Sly Brook Lakes, illustrating the dense hydrological network of the Maine woods during this era of modern surveying.
