1927 Map of Pierce Pond

About this map

West Forks Plantation and the surrounding unorganized townships of Somerset County define this 1920s landscape of the Maine North Woods. The Dead River carves a significant path through the southern half of the map, featuring Grand Falls and the Dead River Dam. This era shows a transition in the region's wilderness utility, where logging infrastructure like Depot Camp and Hayden Landing exists alongside early sporting and tourism sites. Sporting camps such as the Appletree Inn, Comber Inn, and Pierce Pond Camps are clustered near the waterways, signaling the area's reputation for outdoor recreation. High peaks including Coburn Mtn—noted with a Lookout Sta—and Hurricane Mtn rise sharply above the dense network of ponds and bogs, including the expansive Upper Pierce Pond and Johnson Bog.
