1949 Map of Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates this interior landscape, documented here after the establishment of the Baxter State Park and its Game Preserve. The map details the intricate alpine topography of the Great Basin, North Basin, and the dramatic Knife Edge ridge connecting Baxter Pk to Pamola. At this time, the area served as a premier destination for backcountry recreation, shown through a network of trails like the Hunt Trail and Abol Trail, and early wilderness infrastructure including the Chimney Pond Campground and Roaring Brook Campground.
