1935 Map of Arnold Pond

About this map

The United States Canada international boundary defines the character of this 1930s topographic survey, which centers on the remote gores and townships of northwestern Maine. A lone U.S. Customs station marks the entry point along the northern border, serving as a rare outpost of official infrastructure in an otherwise undeveloped landscape of watersheds and timber tracts. The terrain is a complex network of high peaks and isolated water bodies, including Louise Mtn and the sprawling Arnold Pond.
