1928 Map of Stratton

About this map

Flagstaff Lake and its surrounding plantations dominate this northern Maine landscape, representing a significant transformation of the upper Dead River valley. While the topographic data reflects a 1920s survey, the map includes the 1952 addition of the reservoir, which submerged the settlement of Flagstaff. The villages of Stratton and Eustis remain as primary hubs, connected by Route 27. To the south, the massive peaks of the Redington Pond Range, Sugarloaf Mtn, and Crocker Mtn rise sharply, punctuated by remote outposts like Skunk Brook Camp. Local educational history is anchored by the Browns Sch near Eustis Ridge and the Coplin Sch in Coplin Plantation. The detailed drainage network, including the North Branch Dead River and Carrabassett River, illustrates the complex hydrology of this logging and mountain region before mid-century developments.
