1984 Map of Mount Abraham

About this map

The high peaks of the western mountains dominate this 1984 survey, centered on the massive prominence of Mount Abraham (T 4 R 1 B K P W K R) and Spalding Mtn. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the West Branch Carrabassett River and Quick Stream, where the small settlement of Salem sits at a crossroads near the Mt Abram High Sch. Along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, an Old RR Grade follows the river valley, marking the path of former narrow-gauge rail operations that once served the region's timber industry.
