1936 Map of Kennebago Lake

About this map

Kennebago Lake and the surrounding wilderness of Franklin County appear here during the mid-1930s, showing a landscape defined by logging camps and remote outpost settlements. The industrial footprint of the era is evident at Langtown Mill and several numbered outposts such as Camp No 10 and Camp No 11, while the presence of Kennebago Sch, Langtown Sch, and Dallas Sch indicates established rural communities in these townships. The historic Arnold Trail skirts the northern edge of the map, following a path through Alder Stream. This survey, compiled in part from aerial photographs taken by the U.S. Army Air Corps, provides a clear view of the complex hydrology of the region, from the primary waters of Loon Lake and Tim Pond to specialized features like Skedaddle Cove and Lost Logan.
