1977 Map of Middle Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Middle Dam serves as the focal point of this 1970s orthophotoquad, situated at the crucial junction between the expansive Lower Richardson Lake and the Rapid River. The imagery reveals a landscape defined by the water management systems of the Oxford County backcountry, where the flow from the Richardson lakes is regulated before moving toward Umbagog Lake to the west. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Moose Mountain, which towers over the drainage basin. Smaller water bodies like Cranberry Pond and Sturtevant Stream are visible within the dense forest cover, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Maine woods before more modern development altered these remote shorelines. This aerial perspective provides a clear view of the timberlands and water routes that have historically supported the region's logging and sporting traditions.
