1922 Map of Moosehead Lake

About this map

Mt Kineo rises as a prominent landmark over the central waters of the lake, anchoring a landscape defined by timber tracts and early 20th-century transportation. The Canadian Pacific railroad skirts the western shore, connecting the settlement at Moosehead to the wider region. Notable human imprints on the wilderness include the Masterman School within the Taunton and Raynham Tract and the lakeside community of Rockwood. The map documents a sophisticated water-based economy, specifically tracing the Steamboat Route as it weaves between Sugar Island and Deer Island. Large administrative divisions like Days Academy and the East Middlesex Canal grant dominate the northern terrain, reflecting the state's historical land-allocation patterns for education and infrastructure development.
