1935 Map of Musquacook Lakes

About this map

First Musquacook Lake and its sister waters form a dramatic north-south chain through the wilderness of northern Maine, captured here in the early 1930s. This interior landscape at the border of Aroostook and Piscataquis Counties is defined by a complex network of waterways, from the Lower Horse Race Rapids to the quiet reaches of Squirrel Pond. The absence of developed towns is replaced by industrial and recreational infrastructure, notably the American Realty Tote Road which provided essential access for logging operations during this era.
