1932 Map of Lead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Lead Mountain and its summit Fire Tower command the center of this Maine landscape, where the Air Line Road cuts through the timberlands of Hancock and Washington Counties. In the early 1930s, the region was defined by a network of logging camps and rural outposts, such as Howe Farm Camp, Farnsworth Camp, and Jacobs Camp. The settlements of Deblois and Beddington serve as the primary hubs, situated near the winding Narraguagus River. Water-level control is evident at Hemlock Dam, which regulated the flow for downstream industry or log drives. From the ridge lines like Blackcap Mountain and Gould Ridge down to remote water bodies like Alligator Lake, the topography reveals a terrain managed for its natural resources and accessible via landings like Steep Landing on the West Branch.
