1986 Map of Fifth Musquacook Lake

About this map

Fifth Musquacook Lake and the surrounding backcountry of Northern Maine define this landscape on the border of Aroostook and Piscataquis counties. The 1980s terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Clear Lake, Upper Hudson Pond, and the chain of Elbow Ponds. The map reveals a land managed for timber and recreation, marked by several Shale Pits and a Gravel Pit alongside a network of Private roads and designated Campsites. High points like Hudson Mountain and the Rocky Mountains rise above the drainage basins of Big Hudson Brook and Mule Brook. This survey captures the remote wilderness character of the T 11 R 11 and T 10 R 10 WELS townships during a period of active land management, providing a clear record of the watershed and logging infrastructure before modern digital mapping.
