1957 Map of Telos Lake

About this map

Chamberlain Lake and Telos Lake dominate this wilderness landscape in Northern Maine, revealing a complex network of waterways once vital to the logging industry. The presence of Telos Dam and the Eagle Lake Tote Road reflects the region's history as a timber production hub where water levels were managed for driving logs. Further south, the map details the rugged transition into protected lands, clearly marking the Baxter State Park Boundary. High points like the Burnt Mtn Lookout Tower and Center Mtn overlook numerous bogs and smaller water bodies, including Thissell Pond and Little Nesowadnehunk Lake. The isolated Camp Phoenix remains a solitary outpost in this remote terrain, providing a look at mid-century backcountry settlement and sporting camp culture in the North Woods.
