1977 Map of Chain Of Ponds

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Upper Farm sits along the narrow, elongated waters of the Chain of Ponds, marking a rare point of human presence in this high-altitude Maine landscape. This 1977 orthophotograph, rectified from aerial imagery, reveals the stark contrast between the deep, dark water bodies and the densely forested peaks of Snow Mountain and Bag Pond Mountain. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the timber, with Clearwater Brook feeding the northern reaches while Indian Stream and the North Branch Alder Stream carve through the southern terrain. This perspective is particularly valuable for understanding the natural geography and timberland boundaries before more modern developments, showing Big Island Pond and the surrounding wilderness in a moment of quiet isolation.
