1986 Map of Square Lake West

About this map

Eagle Lake and Square Lake dominate this northern Maine landscape, connected by a narrow waterway and the historic portage point known as The Carry. This 1986 provisional survey details a region defined by its timber and recreational legacy, where named camps like Michaud Camp and landings such as Burnt Landing sit tucked along the shorelines. The topography is etched by a series of drainages, including First Brook, Middle Brook, and Last Brook, which flow through the unorganized townships of T 16 R 5 Wels and T 15 R 5 Wels. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of Gravel Pits and various campsites, reflecting the area's use for resource extraction and backcountry access. Significant landmarks like The Ledge and Abraham Point provide navigational reference in this densely wooded lake country.
