1942 Map of Oquossoc

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Mooselookmeguntic Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this western Maine landscape, reflecting a region defined by its vast water resources and early 20th-century sporting culture. The settlement of Oquossoc serves as a northern hub, while the Oquossoc Angling Assn points to the area's long-standing draw for recreation. This 1940 survey documents a transition in local transportation, marking an Abandoned R. R. near Mountainview and the presence of the Appalachian Trail crossing through the southeastern peaks. The map reveals the infrastructure of the logging and power industries through the Aziscohos Dam and the strategically placed Upper Dam and Middle Dam. Isolated settlements like Farrington and seasonal camps are connected by a network of Old Roads and Farm Roads, while the surrounding terrain rises toward prominent heights such as Elephant Mtn and Old Blue Mtn.
