About this map

Katahdin Iron Works anchors this mid-1980s landscape at the confluence of the West Branch Pleasant River and Silver Lake. The map details a transition from industrial heritage to wilderness recreation, centered on the Katahdin Iron Works State Park. The surrounding terrain is defined by significant elevations like Saddleback Mountain and Ore Mountain, the latter hinting at the raw materials that once fueled the local economy. Toward the north and west, the map delineates vast educational and timber holdings, including the Bowdoin College Grant East. Remote seasonal outposts such as Pine Camp and Arnold Camps are scattered near water bodies like Houston Pond, illustrating the area's late 20th-century character as a hub for forestry and backcountry sporting life.
