About this map

Mount Kent and Rump Mountain dominate this high-altitude orthophotograph, providing a rare visual record of the Oxford County wilderness in the mid-1970s. Unlike traditional line maps, this imagery reveals the precise texture of the forest and the winding drainage patterns of the Magalloway River system. The watershed is defined by the Little Magalloway River and its West Branch, which carve through the elevations near Prospect Mountain.

Insights from the aerial imagery highlight the isolation of Rump Pond, a remote water body accessible only through the dense drainage of Bereau Brook. This survey captures the terrain as it existed just before more modern digital mapping, preserving the specific logging road scars and natural clearings of the era. The presence of Moose Brook further illustrates the complex hydrological network that defines this unpopulated corner of the Maine-New Hampshire border.
