1958 Map of Pierce Pond

About this map

Coburn Mountain and Johnson Mountain dominate this Somerset County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of sporting camps and mountain ponds in the mid-20th century. The Dead River flows through the southern half of the quadrangle, with the Dead River Dam and Hayden Landing marking key points along its course. The map reveals an economy built around seasonal recreation and timber, featuring scattered lodging such as the Comber Inn, Appletree Inn, and numerous camps like Bulldog Camps and Pierce Pond Camps. This era shows a transition in accessibility, with a Jeep Trail threading through the t2 r5 BKP WKR (Lower Enchanted) township. The presence of the Lookout Tower on Coburn Mountain highlights the ongoing importance of fire watch infrastructure during this period of Maine's forest management.
