1988 Map of Mount Katahdin

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Baxter State Park encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the northern terminus of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail meets the dramatic peaks of Mt Katahdin. The topography is defined by massive glacial cirques like the Great Basin and the North Basin, which cradle high-altitude waters such as Chimney Pond and the Basin Ponds. A series of prominent ridges and peaks, including the razor-thin Knife Edge and the expansive Table Land, radiate from Baxter Peak. This map documents the complex drainage systems of Wassataquoik Stream and Katahdin Stream, featuring landmarks like Katahdin Stream Falls. In the lower elevations, the site of New City and the Katahdin Stream Campground suggest the area's development for backcountry recreation and forestry management in the late 20th century, while labels like The Klondike and The Gateway reflect the localized naming of specific mountain passages.
