1949 Map of Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Baxter State Park and Game Preserve anchors this survey of Maine’s interior highlands, dominated by the massif of Mount Katahdin and its sharp features like the Knife Edge and Baxter Pk. The map documents a classic era of wilderness recreation, showing a network of historic campsites and lodges including Katahdin Lake Camps, Roaring Brook Campground, and Joe Francis Camp. The landscape is a complex of high basins and summits such as Hamlin Pk and The Brothers, interconnected by early 20th-century footpaths like the Klondike Trail and Hunt Trail. Lower elevations are defined by an intricate hydrology of brooks and ponds, from the Wassataquoik Stream in the north to Millinocket Lake in the south, while the Pockwockamus Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the southern woods.
