1932 Map of Stratton

About this map

Bigelow Mountain dominates the center of this western Maine landscape, anchoring a wilderness marked by plantations and remote riverside settlements before mid-century reservoir projects altered the terrain. The Dead River and its branches, including the South Branch Dead River, provide the primary drainage for the high peaks of the Redington Pond Range and summits like Sugarloaf Mtn. Early 20th-century life is concentrated in the small villages of Stratton, Eustis, and Flagstaff, the latter of which still occupies its original valley location.
