Loggers guide pulpwood across floating timbers at Long Pond in Maine during the spring drive of 1943, using pike poles to control the movement of logs into a sluiceway. Seasonal log drives were a critical part of the northern timber industry, moving cut wood from remote forests to mills by water when rivers and ponds thawed. Operations like those run by the Brown Company supplied raw material for paper production, supporting wartime demand for packaging, printing, and military needs.
