1978 Map of Farrar Mountain

About this map

Second Roach Pond and the headwaters of the Roach River dominate this late-1970s orthophotoquad in the Maine North Woods. This specific document utilizes aerial imagery taken on October 24, 1978, to reveal the raw topography and drainage patterns of the Piscataquis highlands. The landscape is defined by significant elevations, including Farrar Mountain and Trout Mountain, which frame the valley floor. To the southwest, a portion of First Roach Pond appears, connected by the river system to its neighboring basin. Smaller tributaries such as Hinckley Brook and Farrar Brook cut through the forest, showing the intricate hydrological network that feeds these larger glacial ponds. The imagery provides a clear view of the timbered terrain and the winding course of the water as it moves through this sparsely settled region.
