1977 Map of Big Spencer Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Big Spencer Mountain anchors this 1977 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to document the undeveloped wilderness of Piscataquis County. The imagery reveals the sharp topographical contrast between the high peaks and the water-heavy lowlands of the Maine North Woods. To the east, the irregular shoreline of Ragged Lake dominates the landscape, while the smaller Big Pine Pond and Cranberry Pond are visible in the northern reaches. The absence of roads and settlements underscores the timberland character of the era. Waterways like Maxfield Brook wind through the forest, connecting the larger bodies of water including a portion of Lobster Lake on the western edge. Notable elevations like Black Cap Mountain and Little Spencer Mountain stand out through the photographic shadows and textures of the forest canopy.
