1957 Map of Lead Mountain

About this map

The interior of Washington and Hancock Counties is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and isolated summits, captured here as the area appeared in the late 1950s. The landscape is dominated by the massive Lead Mtn, which features a Lookout Tower overlooking the surrounding water bodies. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into a complex series of ridges including Schoppe Ridge, Gould Ridge, and the distinct Sevenmile Brook Bluff. Small settlements like Beddington and Deblois represent the primary human footprints in this timber-rich region, connected by a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails.
