About this map

West Musquash Lake and its surrounding glacial terrain dominate this 1988 survey of Washington County, Maine. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and dramatic topography, including Musquash Mountain and the Pineo Mountains. The connection between Upper Oxbrook Lake and Lower Oxbrook Lake via The Thoroughfare illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped local navigation and recreation.

While the region remains primarily wild, signs of human activity are present through the Grand Lake Stream Plantation boundary and a Sand and Gravel Pit near Vickery Brook. These labels point to a late-20th-century economy still tied to the land and its resources. From Trout Lake Ridge in the north to the northern reaches of West Grand Lake, the map provides a look at this part of Maine before further modern development.
