1949 Map of Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Baxter State Park and the rugged interior of the Game Preserve dominate this 1949 revision of the legendary Maine wilderness. The topographical detail focuses on the massive elevation of Mount Katahdin, including the iconic Knife Edge and the high summit at Baxter Pk. Below the treeline, a network of historic pathways such as the Appalachian Trail, Chimney Trail, and the Saddle Trail connect remote outposts like the Chimney Pond Campground and Russell Pond State Camp. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the region, from the high Lake Cowles and Klondike Pd down to the sprawling Millinocket Lake. The presence of the Tote Road and various campsites like the Abol Campsite reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting both conservation and backcountry exploration before more modern developments altered these traditional access routes.
