Local Legends

Flagstaff Lake Drowned Villages

Eustis, ME

Flagstaff Lake in Maine's high country covers the drowned villages of Flagstaff and Dead River — flooded in 1950 for hydro power, their people moved, their name from Benedict Arnold's flagstaff. Low water bares old roads, and lake telling keeps their bells.
