1977 Map of Metallak Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Metallak Mountain and Elephant Mountain anchor this orthophotographic study of the western Maine woods during the late 1970s. This specific type of map, created from aerial photography, reveals the dense timber patterns and water systems of the Rangeley Lakes region with photographic precision. The imagery captures the expansive waters of Richardson Lake to the west and Mooselookmeguntic Lake to the north, connected by the drainage of Mosquito Brook. The interior landscape is dominated by heavy forestation surrounding Metallak Pond, providing a look at the commercial timberlands and natural drainages before further modern development. Unlike traditional topographic lines, this aerial perspective shows the actual texture of the canopy and the exact shoreline of South Arm Lake, making it a valuable tool for understanding the environmental state of Oxford County at this moment in time.
