1978 Map of Big Shanty Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Big Shanty Mountain rises as the central landmark of this 1978 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to document the Piscataquis County landscape in fine detail. The imagery reveals a heavily forested environment defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of waterways, most notably the East Branch Pleasant River winding through the northern sections. In the southeast, the slopes of Saddleback Mountain overlook the drainage of Big White Brook, while the distinct shape of B Pond sits tucked into the eastern reaches. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this photographic survey from the late seventies provides a direct visual record of timber density and mountain terrain, from the heights of White Cap Mountain to the deep river valleys below, capturing the unbuilt character of the Maine woods during this era.
