Mooselookmeguntic Lake from the Height of Land

The Rangeley Lakes (including the man-made Aziscohos Lake) in northwestern Maine serve as an enormous reservoir for the Androscoggin. To regulate the flow of water in the river, and to control flooding, dams between the several lakes in this chain were erected, beginning in the 1850s. Mooselookmeguntic Lake, from the “Height of Land” on Route 17, is pictured here.
