1988 Map of Number Four Mtn.

About this map

Number Four Mtn and Elephant Mountain dominate this heavily forested landscape in the Moosehead Lake region of the late 1980s. The area is defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and drainages, including the expansive Upper Wilson Pond and the smaller, more isolated Horseshoe Pond. The map covers several large land grants and townships such as Bowdoin College Grant West and Beaver Cove, reflecting the historical timber-management and institutional land ownership patterns of the Maine Woods. A dense network of unimproved roads and trails weaves through the drainages of North Lily Bay Brook and Baker Brook, indicating the ongoing importance of logging and recreational access. Distinctive peaks like Baker Mtn and Lily Bay Mtn rise above the intervales, providing a clear topographic record of this wilderness tract before further modern development or road expansion.
