1930 Map of Katahdin

About this map

Baxter State Park and the massive massif of Mount Katahdin dominate this 1927 survey, showing the wilderness as it was being formally preserved. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Hamlin Pk and Baxter Pk, separated by the dramatic Knife Edge and the deep glacial cirque of the Great Basin. This era represents a transition from a logging-dominated interior to a recreation-focused preserve, evidenced by the numerous sporting and logging camps scattered throughout the townships, such as Togue Pond Camp and Roaring Brook Camp.
