1935 Map of Umsaskis Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Umsaskis Lake and Long Lake form the central artery of this 1930s northern Maine wilderness, a landscape defined by the Allagash River waterway and the timber industry. The map illustrates a transitional era where traditional logging operations relied on seasonal outposts and overland routes like the Realty Tote Road and Chase Road. Remote habitations are limited to specialized sites such as Harvey Farm, the American Realty Depot Camp, and Blanchette Camp, indicating a landscape managed for resource extraction rather than permanent settlement. The presence of a Fire Tower near Priestly Lake and several Fire Warden Camps underscores the high stakes of forest protection in this timber-rich region. The Long Lake Dam at the northern end of its namesake lake suggests the managed flow of water necessary for driving logs downstream toward the Allagash Falls.
