1927 Map of Second Connecticut Lake

About this map

Second Connecticut Lake and its sister water bodies dominate this high-country landscape along the international boundary between New Hampshire and Quebec. Surveyed in 1927, the map illustrates a network of remote logging and sporting outposts, including Idlewild and Camp Otter on the western shores. The Magalloway and Connecticut river systems originate here, defined by a complex of brooks like Smith Brook and Trestle Brook that fed the region's early 20th-century timber economy.
