1988 Map of Big Spencer Mtn

About this map

Big Spencer Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this interior Maine wilderness, crowned by a Fire Lookout Tower that historically overlooked the surrounding timberlands and lakes. The terrain is defined by its water bodies and township boundaries, including the East Middlesex Canal Grant and several large tracts such as Lobster (T 3 R 14 W E L S). The map details a complex hydrologic network where Lobster Lake with its prominent Big Claw and the wide expanse of Ragged Lake frame a region of dense forest and smaller basins like Big Pine Pond and Cranberry Pond. This late-twentieth-century survey documents the working landscape of the North Woods, noting several locations of a Gravel Pit along the unimproved roads and trails that represent the primary human imprint on these remote townships.
