About this map

Moxie Pond dominates the center of this Maine backcountry landscape, its elongated waters pinched by the Caribou Narrows, Black Narrows, and Mosquito Narrows. The small settlement of Troutdale sits on the western shore, serving as a point of contact along the rail line that skirts the water's edge. This 1980s provisional study records the rugged topography of Somerset County before major modern changes, noting prominent peaks like Mosquito Mountain and Black Nubble.

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the map, crossing over the slopes of Bald Mountain and near Joes Hole. The landscape is a network of township boundaries, including Squaretown and East Moxie, defined by drainage basins like Mosquito Stream and Alder Stream. This record is particularly valuable for tracing the traditional hiking routes and the early industrial footprint of the Gravel Pit near Lake Moxie.
