1932 Map of Umsaskis Lake

About this map

The Allagash River waterway dominates this northern Maine wilderness as it appeared in the early 1930s, connecting Long Lake and Umsaskis Lake through a series of thoroughfares. This remote corridor was defined by the logging industry and fire protection infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the American Realty Depot Camp and the Fire Warden Camp near the lakeshore. A ferry crossing and the Paquette Sch indicate a small but established community centered around the river economy.
