1956 Map of Little Bigelow Mtn

About this map

Flagstaff Lake dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, its waters reaching a Spillway Elevation of 1146 feet along the Dead River. The map illustrates a region transitioning from earlier industrial uses to a recreation-focused economy, evidenced by the numerous sporting outposts like East Carry Camps, West Carry Camps, and Sterlings Camps. The historic Old Canada Road and the Appalachian Trail traverse the ridgelines of Little Bigelow Mtn and Roundtop Mtn, marking significant transit corridors through the Somerset County wilderness.
