1955 Map of Little East Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The remote international border between Quebec and Maine defines this triangular survey, conducted shortly after the mid-century. This unorganized territory in Aroostook County is characterized by its complex network of headwaters, where the North Branch and South Branch of Fivemile Brook drain the high timberlands. Unlike the populated farming townships further south, this area remains a wilderness of named waterways and survey divisions like T 17 R 14 and T 16 R 14. The northern tip of the sheet highlights the isolated Little East Lake and East Lake, which sit directly against the Canada-United States boundary line. In this era, the landscape was largely navigated by trails and unimproved roads, serving the logging industry near Pocwock Stream and Chimenticook Stream.
