1978 Map of Doubletop Mountain

About this map

Nesowadnehunk Stream carves a dominant path through this portion of the Maine wilderness, as documented in an aerial orthophotograph from the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by high-elevation peaks including Doubletop Mountain, Mount Veto, Mount Coe, and the distinctly named Mount O-J-I. This photographic survey provides a rare view of the forest canopy and drainage patterns before modern digital mapping, showing the specific relationship between the granite heights and the basin containing Kidney Pond and Slaughter Pond. The orthophoto format reveals the texture of the timber and the sharp vertical relief of the mountainsides in a way that standard topographic lines often obscure, capturing the raw state of this Piscataquis County terrain during a single October day in 1978.
