1930 Map of Katahdin

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates this Maine landscape, serving as the central anchor for a network of wilderness camps and primitive trails surveyed in the late 1920s. The map documents a rugged era of backcountry travel, where sites like Katahdin Lake Camp and Sewell Camp provided essential shelter for hikers and forest workers. The high-altitude terrain is characterized by the Great Basin and the narrow Knife Edge, while the Game Preserve designation reflects early 20th-century conservation efforts in the region.
