1935 Map of Fish River Lake

About this map

Timber harvesting and backcountry recreation define this survey of northern Maine, where Wheelock Mill and Michauds Mill stand as key industrial markers along the northern waters. The landscape is a network of working camps and seasonal retreats, from the Blanchards Depot Camp and Bouchers Camp to the more recreational clusters at Bishops Camps. This was a time when the North Woods were accessed primarily by tote roads and trails, supporting a rugged economy of forestry and sporting.
