1932 Map of Lead Mountain

About this map

Lead Mountain stands as the central landmark of this timberland region in the late 1920s, topped by a Fire Tower that overlooks a landscape defined by an intricate network of lakes and logging camps. The southern portion of the sheet is bisected by the Air Line Road, which serves as the primary artery connecting the small settlements of Deblois and Beddington. Remote outposts such as Howe Farm, Farnsworth Camp, and Jacobs Camp are scattered through the township divisions of T 34 and T 28, marking the footprint of early inland Maine land management and the lumber industry. Notable water features like Alligator Lake and Mopang Lake dominate the terrain, while specific landmarks such as Hemlock Dam and Steep Landing on the Narraguagus River highlight the importance of river-based logistics for moving resources across the county line.
