2014 Map of Middle Dam

About this map

Middle Dam sits as the central focal point of this Oxford County landscape, where the waters of Lower Richardson Lake transition into the Rapid River. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways and high peaks, including Moose Mountain and South Mountain, which define the drainage basins of the western Maine woods. Notable landforms like Portland Point and Horse Beef Point jut into the lake waters, while Hardscrabble Island and Spirit Island mark the southern reaches of the reservoir system. This survey captures the connectivity between Upper Richardson Lake and the Pond in the River, linked by established routes such as Carry Rd. The presence of several smaller bodies of water, including Cranberry Pond and Sunday Pond, tucked between ridges like Carry Ridge, highlights the intricate glacial topography of this timberland and recreation corridor near the New Hampshire border.
