1941 Map of Scraggly Lake

About this map

Musquash Mountain dominates this portion of Washington County, its heights capped by a prominent Fire Tower overlooking a complex network of waterways and wetlands. Surveyed in the early 1940s, the landscape is defined by the expansive Baskahegan Lake and the winding course of Baskahegan Stream, which flows through numerous marshy depressions including Crabtree Bog and Caribou Bog. The mapping reveals a remote timber and water-shed territory where topographic features like Pleasant Ridge and Horse Hill separate the various drainages of the East Musquash Lake and its surrounding tributaries. Human imprints are sparse, represented by logging-related routes such as Lathrop Road and named peaks like Tracy Mtn and Bowers Mtn, reflecting the area's history as a hub for inland Maine's forestry and freshwater fishing industries.
