1952 Map of First Roach Pond

About this map

Kokadjo serves as the primary outpost in this remote section of Piscataquis County, situated at the western end of First Roach Pond. The landscape is defined by its massive water bodies and prominent peaks, including Number Four Mtn with its VABM Lookout Tower and the sprawling Lily Bay Mtn. In the southern reaches, the map details the large timberland tracts of the Bowdoin College Grant (West) and Bowdoin College Grant (East). Industry and conservation intersect at the State Fish Hatchery near Lily Bay, while the Appalachian Trail winds through the eastern peaks like White Cap Mtn and Hay Mtn. This topography reflects the early 1950s Maine interior, a region managed for both commercial forestry and backcountry recreation.
