About this map

Baxter State Park dominates this 1988 survey of the Maine woods, showing a landscape defined by water and high peaks before the turn of the 21st century. The map centers on the massive profile of Doubletop Mountain and the surrounding terrain of The Cross Range, illustrating a network of remote outposts and wilderness infrastructure. Significant points of interest include the Nesowadnehunk Field Campground and the Ranger Sta to the north, which serve as hubs for the numerous trails winding through the area.

Water features are exceptionally dense, with the Nesowadnehunk Stream carving a path past Ledge Falls and Slide Dam. Southward, a cluster of significant water bodies including Slaughter Pond, Kidney Pond, and Daicey Pd are noted alongside the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The map also captures the industrial edge of the wilderness at the Ripogenus Dam, indicating the importance of water management in this Piscataquis County backcountry.
