1957 Map of Moosehead Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates this mid-century survey of the Maine North Woods, illustrating a landscape defined by its massive water body and timberland heritage. The western shore is punctuated by the Canadian Pacific railroad, which skirts the water near the settlement of Moosehead and the Outlet. To the north, the distinctive profile of Mt Kineo and Little Kineo Mtn rise above Kineo Cove, while the southern reaches lead toward Greenville. Large islands like Sugar Island and Deer Island occupy the central waters, surrounded by smaller landmarks such as Dollar Island and Lambert Island. This era captures the region's transition into a recreational destination with the establishment of Lily Bay State Park, while still retaining the traditional nomenclature of the unorganized territories, including Misery Gore, Days Academy, and the East Middlesex Canal Grant.
