1930 Map of Katahdin

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates this interior Maine landscape, where high-altitude geography and remote wilderness camps define the region before mid-century. The survey detail highlights the extreme verticality of the massif, including the narrow Knife Edge path between Baxter Pk and Pamola. Beyond the peaks, the map documents a network of seasonal and permanent encampments essential to early 20th-century life in the North Woods, such as Joe Francis Camp and the Katahdin Lake Camps.
