1958 Map of Pierce Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Coburn Mountain and the surrounding peaks of Somerset County dominate this mid-century landscape, which is defined by its network of sporting camps and isolated landings. The area shows a clear reliance on the seasonal wilderness economy, with several established outposts such as Grace Pond Camp, Bulldog Camps, and Pierce Pond Camps scattered across the township boundaries. The Dead River carves through the center of the sheet, featuring the significant drop at Grand Falls and providing a waterway access point at Hayden Landing. In addition to the river, the Appalachian Trail winds through the southern section of the map, passing near Pierce Pond and Otter Pond Camps. This survey preserves the geography of the Kennebec River watershed before modern development, highlighting traditional agricultural and logging sites like Salmon Stream Farm and the Lookout Tower atop Coburn Mountain.
