1957 Map of Telos Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Telos Dam stands as a central hydraulic landmark in this remote Maine wilderness, managing the waters where Telos Lake meets the complex drainage system of the North Woods. The map captures a landscape defined by industrial logging history and early conservation, evidenced by the Eagle Lake Tote Road and the established Baxter State Park boundary in the southeast corner. In this era, the region was primarily accessible via primitive routes like the Webster Road or by water through the Arm of Chamberlain on Chamberlain Lake. Settled activity is sparse, centered on sites like Camp Phoenix and the Burnt Mtn Lookout Tower, which provided vital fire overwatch for the surrounding timberlands. Numerous smaller water bodies, including Coffeelos Pond, Hudson Pond, and Midnight Pond, are connected by a network of brooks and streams that illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Penobscot River watershed.
