1935 Map of Mooseleuk Lake

About this map

The remote lumbering and sporting camps of northern Aroostook County are documented here during the early 1930s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Big Machias Lake and Mooseleuk Lake, which supported the region's early 20th-century economies. Temporary settlements such as Goulds Camp and Storms Camp are scattered along the major waterways, often connected by primitive routes like the Tote Road. A Fire Tower atop Round Mtn served as a critical lookout point for the vast timberlands. The survey illustrates the complex drainage system of the North Maine Woods, where Twentyfivemile Brook and Clayton Stream flow through townships defined by a rigid grid of survey lines, such as T 11 R 9, reflecting the administrative management of this wilderness territory.
