1970 Map of Kibby Mountain

About this map

The crest of Kibby Mountain, punctuated by a prominent Lookout Tower, dominates this upland region of northwestern Maine. The landscape is defined by its industrial timber access and network of water bodies, including Caribou Pond and Douglas Pond. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map illustrates the remote character of Kibby and Skinner townships, where the South Branch Moose River and West Branch Spencer Stream drain the high peaks. The presence of seasonal access ways like Lowelltown Road, Haynestown Road, and various Jeep Trails reflects the region's managed wilderness and logging history. Other significant heights such as Moose Mountain, Caribou Mountain, and Spencer Bale Mountain create a complex topography of ridges and bogs, including the expansive Hay Bog and Spencer Bog.
