1957 Map of Telos Lake

About this map

Chamberlain Lake and the interconnected waters of the North Maine Woods define this remote landscape at the threshold of the late 1950s. The map illustrates a region dominated by timber-and-water geography, where the Lake Tote Road and Telos Tote Road provide the primary terrestrial access to the interior. Notable elevations such as Burnt Mtn Lookout Tower and Strickland Mtn overlook a complex network of bogs and smaller ponds, including Black Spruce Bog and Little Coffeelos Pond. The southeastern corner transitions into Baxter State Park, marked by its boundary lines near Camp Phoenix on the shores of Nesowadnehunk Lake. This survey preserves the exact footprint of the logging industry's infrastructure before modern forest management changed the character of these northern townships.
