1949 Map of Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates this Maine landscape, serving as the centerpiece of Baxter State Park in a detailed mid-century survey. The terrain is defined by extreme glacial formations, including the North Basin, the Great Basin, and the dramatic Knife Edge ridge. Remote backcountry infrastructure is meticulously documented, showing the distribution of wilderness outposts like Russell Pond State Camp and Katahdin Lake Camps, along with several established grounds such as Roaring Brook Campground. The map traces the early routes of the Appalachian Stream and the Hunt Trail, providing a clear record of the area's hiking and conservation history. Significant landmarks include the Oak Hill Fire Tower and the isolated depression known as The Klondike, capturing the region's character before modern recreational development expanded further into the surrounding townships.
