About this map

Rump Mountain and the high ridges of the western Maine borderlands define this mountainous landscape in the late 1980s. Straddling the line between Coos County and Oxford County, the area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways including the West Br Magalloway River and the Little Magalloway River. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Ledge Ridge and Mt Kent, with drainage systems feeding into remote water bodies such as Parmachenee Lake and Rump Pond.

Evidence of human activity in this heavily forested region is sparse but present, notably at a Gravel Pit near Trestle Brook. The map reveals the township structure of the era, specifically within the boundaries of Parmachenee and Lynchtown. This survey provides a detailed look at the watershed before modern developments, preserving the locations of natural features like Norton Pool and Billings Ponds.
