1997 Map of Middle Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Lower Richardson Lake and the Rapid River corridor define this region of Oxford County, where the settlement of Middle Dam serves as the focal point for water management and navigation between the lakes. The landscape is characterized by its complex shoreline, featuring Hardscrabble Island and numerous coves like Spaulding Cove and Cranberry Cove. The terrain rises sharply from the water at South Mountain and Moose Mtn, creating a high-relief environment dominated by the Magalloway Plantation and Upton territories. Historical transit is noted through the presence of Carry Ridge and Inlet Ridge, likely reflecting old portage routes used before modern 4WD roads reached the backcountry. Smaller bodies of water, including Pond in the River and Sunday Pond, are tucked into the drainages of Ash Brook and Birch Brook, illustrating the dense hydrological network that feeds into the larger Richardson and Umbagog Lake systems.
