About this map

The waters of Kennebago Lake dominate this high-elevation wilderness in Franklin County, as documented in this 1970 field check. The shoreline is punctuated by Grants Camps and Skedaddle Cove, illustrating the region's long-standing character as a remote sporting and timber destination. The map details the complex township and range boundaries typical of northern Maine, including Stetsontown and Dallas Plantation.

Elevated terrain such as Spotted Mountain and East Kennebago Mtn towers over a network of wetlands and logans. At the southeastern edge of the lake, Kennebago Lake Camps sits near a cluster of small water bodies like Blanchard Ponds and the secluded Ben Gile Pond. This survey preserves the geography of the Maine woods before significant modern development, marking old features like the Gravel Pits and various logans including Yorks Logan and Lost Logan.
