1977 Map of Mount Abraham

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mount Abraham dominates the high terrain of this 1977 orthophotoquad, showing the Franklin County landscape as it appeared in late October. The aerial imagery captures a transition in the valley floor near the settlements of Barnjum and Salem, where the drainage network of Rapid Stream and Quick Stream feeds into the larger West Branch Carrabassett River. Because this is an orthophotomap rather than a traditional line-and-symbol topo, it reveals the actual patterns of timber harvesting and forest cover that defined the region's economy in the late seventies. Researchers can observe the exact footprint of small settlements and the winding paths of logging roads carved into the slopes of the massif, providing a precise visual record of land use before subsequent decades of regrowth and development.
