1928 Map of Dead River

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Dead River flows through this Somerset County landscape, anchoring a network of remote plantations and seasonal settlements surveyed in the mid-1920s. The region is defined by the historic carrying places between the great ponds, such as West Carry Pond and East Carry, which served as critical transit points for woodsmen and early sporting camps. Small-scale agricultural and homesteading sites like Joe Farm, Spring Farm, and Records appear alongside established institutions including the Highland School and Mill School. The map reflects an era before widespread modernization, where life revolved around the Carrabassett River and the rugged peaks of Stewart Mtn and Little Bigelow Mtn. This topographic record provides a look at the backcountry infrastructure of central Maine, from the isolated West Carry Camps to the named ledges and brooks that guided travelers through these wooded plantations.
