1940 Map of Oquossoc

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Oquossoc stands as a central settlement in this 1940 survey of the Rangeley Lakes region, situated where the Kennebago River meets the eastern shore of Cupsuptic Lake. The landscape is defined by a complex hydraulic network of reservoirs and timber-driving infrastructure, including the Aziscohos Dam on the western edge and the strategic Upper Dam and Middle Dam controlling the flow between the Richardson Lakes. This era reflects the region's dual identity as both a logging powerhouse and a destination for sportsmen, evidenced by the scattered camps at Mountainview and South Rangeley. Topographical detail reveals the isolation of the western townships like Magalloway T 5 R 1, where the Melrose Trail and several ponds such as East Richardson Ponds provided the primary access through the dense woods and over heights like Aziscohos Mtn and Elephant Mtn.
