About this map

The high peaks of the western Maine mountains dominate this survey, centered on the unincorporated township of Redington. The landscape is defined by the high ridgelines of Saddleback Junior, The Horn, and Mt Abraham, with the Appalachian Trail traversing the northern heights. A network of logging and transport history is visible through the Old RR Grade that follows the valley of Orbeton Stream, once a vital corridor for moving timber out of these remote townships.

In the southern portion of the map, the landscape transitions toward the small communities within Madrid and Phillips. Small clusters of settlement at Perham Junction, East Madrid, and Reeds reflect the area's rural character. Details such as a remote Cem, the Gravel Pit, and a Footbridge over the streams provide specific points of interest for local historians and those tracing the early development of this mountainous timber-producing region.
