About this map

Mooselookmeguntic Lake and Cupsuptic Lake dominate this survey of the Rangeley Lakes region during the late 1990s. The settlement of Oquossoc serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of the Kennebago River and the Rangeley Grade. This map captures a landscape defined by traditional Maine sporting heritage, illustrated by the presence of the Oquossoc Angling Assn and numerous boat landings.

Remote settlements and sporting camps like Pleasant Island and Mountainview are connected by forest roads and historic grades. To the south, the map details the infrastructure around Upper Dam where the waters flow toward Upper Richardson Lake. Significant terrain features, including the prominent Bald Mountain and the large Students Island, provide essential landmarks for researchers tracing the geography of Rangeley Plantation and the surrounding Oxford and Franklin County borderlands.
