1941 Map of Scraggly Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Baskahegan Lake and the interconnected waters of eastern Maine define this landscape, surveyed by F. F. Blankenbaker and his team in the early 1940s. The region is a dense network of glacial lakes, bogs, and prominent peaks like Musquash Mountain, which is topped by a Fire Tower. The transition between Penobscot and Washington counties is clearly marked as it traverses Pleasant Lake Ridge and the shores of Shaw Lake. This map captures a largely undeveloped interior before later mid-century changes, characterized by difficult-to-access bogs such as Crabtree Bog and Caribou Bog. Localized terrain features like Black Cat Rips and Lake Rips along the streams suggest a landscape shaped by active waterways and timber potential, while family-named landmarks like Loring Hill and Dill Hill provide essential reference points for genealogists tracking early land use in the unorganized townships of T 8 R 3 and T 7 R 2.
