1920 Map of Moosehead Lake

About this map

Mt Kineo rises sharply above the deep waters of Moosehead Lake, anchoring a landscape defined by 1920s wilderness travel and timber-related boundaries. This era is marked by the presence of the Canadian Pacific and Central Maine RR, which served the region's early tourism and industrial needs at points like Kineo Station and Rockwood. The map captures the complex shoreline and interior islands of the central lake, including Sugar Island and Deer Island, while documenting localized civic life at the Masterman School. Diverse land tracts such as Days Academy and the Kineo Tract illustrate the fragmented ownership and administrative divisions common in the Maine North Woods during the early 20th century. A seasonal Steamboat Route is traced across the water, connecting isolated settlements like Capens and Wildwood before modern road networks dominated the shoreline.
