1953 Map of Square Lake

About this map

Saint Agatha and the surrounding unorganized townships of northern Maine appear in this mid-century update, revealing a landscape defined by the interconnected waters of the Fish River Chain of Lakes. The map illustrates a remote but industrious territory where Corriveau Mill stands near the northern shores of Long Lake, and small settlements like Sinclair and Guerette bridge the narrow passages between water bodies. The geography is marked by local family and camp names, such as Austin Camp, Michaud Camp, and Fraser Camp, which suggest the area's enduring reliance on timber and seasonal recreation. Moving south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Square Lake and Eagle Lake, with prominent points like Abraham Pt and Matrimony Pt punctuating the shoreline. The inclusion of the Halfway Brook Trail and the St Eutropius Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the early families of Aroostook County.
