1977 Map of Kibby Mountain

About this map

Kibby Mountain and the surrounding high timberlands of Franklin County are documented here through high-altitude aerial photography. This orthophotoquad reveals a landscape defined by industrial forestry and complex drainage systems, where logging tracks and clearings contrast with the dense canopy of Moose Mountain and Peaked Mountain. The network of watercourses, including the South Branch Moose River and West Branch Moose River, illustrates the hydrologic importance of this Maine-Quebec border region. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery provides a direct look at the forest structure and access roads near Kibby Mountain and along the West Branch Spencer Stream. The inclusion of features like Bog Brook and Middle Branch Kibby Stream offers a precise view of the terrain as it appeared during the late 1970s.
