1986 Map of Mc Clusky Lake

About this map

Pennington Mountain dominates the northwestern corner of this remote Aroostook County landscape, its heights capped by a Lookout Tower that overlooks a vast network of timberlands and drainage basins. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where McClusky Lake and Silver Lake are fed and drained by a dense web of waterways including Middle Branch Brook and Dunn Brook. The map reveals the industrial and topographical character of the northern Maine woods, structured by the township and range lines of T 15 R 6 W E L S and T 15 R 5 W E L S. Local landmarks like Goddard Ridge and Joe Dubay Brook provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use, while a lone Gravel Pit indicates localized resource extraction amidst the ridges and wetlands.
