1989 Map of Dimmick Mountain

About this map

The Moscow Air Force Station Transmit Site dominates the southwestern portion of this Somerset County landscape, marked by its large footprint and a network of supporting infrastructure including a substation and a Double Wooden Pole Transmission Line. This specialized military installation contrasts with the surrounding wilderness of the Caratunk and Moscow areas, where the Appalachian Trail winds through the northern heights. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and water bodies, notably Dimmick Mountain and its namesake ponds, alongside the expansive Baker Pond. Further east, the Austin Stream creates significant natural features such as Austin Stream Falls and the Deadwater, while the township of Mayfield provides a glimpse into the remote, forest-managed boundaries of central Maine during the late twentieth century.
