1978 Map of Mount Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Mount Katahdin dominates this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography taken in late October 1978 to reveal the stark, shadowed relief of the Maine wilderness. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery provides a direct visual record of the high peaks, including Hamlin Peak and the distinctive formation known as The Owl. The drainage of Wassataquoik Stream carves through the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by Russell Mountain and Fort Mountain. The late-autumn sun creates deep shadows across the cirques and ridgelines, offering an unfiltered look at the geological structure of the terrain before the winter snows. This specific survey serves as a precise baseline for the landscape as it appeared in the late seventies, free from the interpretive layer of hand-drawn contour lines.
