1989 Map of King and Bartlett Mtn

About this map

Kibby Kamp sits at the intersection of a vast network of watercourses and timbered slopes in the Maine woods of the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the hydrography of Spencer Stream and Kibby Stream, which connect numerous bodies of water including King and Bartlett Lake and Little King Lake. This map captures a remote area of Somerset and Franklin counties where traditional land use is evidenced by a Gravel Pit, a Radio Tower, and several designated Campsites. The presence of Spencer Dam suggests the historical management of these waterways for logging or power. Topographically, the region is anchored by King and Bartlett Mountain and Spotted Spruce Mtn, with smaller peaks like Farm Hill and Antler Hill rising above the surrounding bogs and ponds, such as Joe Pokum Bog.
