About this map

Mount Katahdin towers over this landscape in Piscataquis County, defined by the Katahdin Park Monument Line and the early boundaries of a Game Preserve. This 1927 survey documents the era when backcountry access relied on a network of remote sporting camps and rugged paths like the Hunt Trail and Abol Trail. Along the mountain's dramatic east face, the topography reveals the Great Basin, the sharp Knife Edge, and Pamola peak. Lower elevations are dotted with seasonal outposts such as Katahdin Lake Camp, Abol Camp, and Sewell Camp, reflecting the region's early 20th-century character as a destination for woodsmen and pioneers. Further south, Pitmans Garage and Togue Pond Camp mark the transition toward the developing road system near the Piscataquis and Penobscot county line.
