1985 Map of Mooseleuk Lake

About this map

Mooseleuk Lake and its surrounding northern Maine wilderness are the focus of this 1980s topographical study. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Mooseleuk Stream, McPherson Brook, and Little Hudson Brook. Human presence in this timber-rich region is marked by logging-era infrastructure like Shaw Camp, scattered campsites, and a system of private roads. The map highlights the rugged topography of the Rocky Mountains and Mule Mountains, alongside distinctive features such as Horseshoe Lookout Mtn and Bartlett Mtn. This era in the Maine North Woods shows a transition where industrial activity, evidenced by a Shale Pit and Gravel Pit, exists alongside significant wetlands like McNally Deadwater and Mink Marsh Pond.
