About this map

Flagstaff Lake and the Dead River basin dominate this mid-1980s look at the Maine North Woods, a landscape defined by timber production and the hydroelectric development that reshaped the valley. The map centers on the villages of Stratton and Eustis, which serve as the primary hubs for this region of Franklin County. Significant terrain features include the high peaks of Bigelow Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Mount Abraham, while the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the ridgelines.

Local history is preserved through labels for the Kennebago Settlement and Langtown Mill, pointing to the area's logging and settlement heritage. Near the international border, the Port of Entry Coburn Gore marks the crossing into Quebec. The sheet provides a clear view of the complex water network that feeds the lake, including Kennebago Lake, Cupsuptic Lake, and the extensive Chain of Ponds to the northwest.
