1989 Map of Second Connecticut Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Second Connecticut Lake and the northernmost headwaters of the Connecticut River dominate this remote landscape along the international border in the late 1980s. The map details the transition from the secluded Fourth Connecticut Lake through Third Connecticut Lake, surrounded by the protected lands of the Connecticut Lakes State Forest. The settlement of Idlewild sits on the western shore of the second lake, serving as a rare point of human habitation in a region defined by extensive water systems like the East Inlet Flowage and Scott Bog. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Salmon Mountain and Deer Mtn, which frame narrow valleys such as West Desmond Valley. Numerous family-named landmarks like Emery Allen Brook and Smith Brook provide valuable clues for genealogists tracking early presence in this northern corner of Pittsburg.
