1977 Map of Basin Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Basin Mountain and Hurricane Mountain dominate this Somerset County landscape, as captured in late October by high-altitude aerial photography. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage network where the meandering Dead River meets the winding path of Spencer Stream. This orthophotoquad provides a clear visual record of the forest canopy and hydrological patterns before the 1980s, highlighting remote water bodies like Alder Pond and the narrow descent of Stony Brook. The image reveals the sharp contrast between the dark, wooded slopes and the bright, reflective paths of the waterways, including the secluded Halfway Brook. This specific type of survey emphasizes the literal ground cover and timbered ridges over man-made structures, offering a precise look at the wilderness state of the region during the late seventies.
