1989 Map of Lake Francis

About this map

Lake Francis dominates this North Country landscape, its waters contained by an Earth Dam and flanked by Lake Francis State Park. This late-1980s survey captures the area as a destination for outdoor recreation and wildlife conservation, evidenced by the large State Wildlife Management Area and various Snowmobile Trails crisscrossing the timbered highlands. Small settlements like Happy Corner and The Glen mark the human presence along the winding Connecticut River corridor. Historical infrastructure remains visible through the notation of a Covered Bridge and a local Cem near the township line between Pittsburg and Clarksville. The geography is defined by significant water bodies, including Back Lake and the southern reach of the First Connecticut Lake, set against a backdrop of prominent peaks like Prospect Mountain and Covell Mtn.
