1944 Map of Dead River
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Dead River winds through the heart of this Somerset County landscape, which is defined by high peaks and remote timberlands as they appeared during World War II. The map reveals a region organized by plantations rather than towns, including Blanchard Plantation, Carrying Place Plantation, and Highland Plantation. These administrative divisions underscore the sparse settlement pattern of the era, where life centered around isolated homesteads like Joe Farm and the small cluster at Dead River.
