1957 Map of Moosehead Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mt Kineo rises dramatically over the waters of Moosehead Lake, marking a landscape defined by timber tracts and early recreation in the late 1950s. The map illustrates a region organized by historic township and grant boundaries, including the East Middlesex Canal Grant and Days Academy. Transport in this remote interior relied on the Canadian Pacific railroad, which skirts the western shore near Rockwood, and a network of secondary roads and a Jeep Trail leading toward the northern peaks. At the lake's southern reaches, the Kennebec River begins at the West Outlet and East Outlet, where a Gaging Sta monitors the flow. From the established settlement of Greenville to the protected grounds of Lily Bay State Park, this survey captures the transition of the Maine woods from a working logging frontier to a destination for conservation and sport.
