1977 Map of The Forks

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The confluence of the Dead River and the Kennebec River forms the central geographic anchor of this Somerset County landscape. At this junction lies the small settlement of The Forks, historically a pivotal point for river-based transport and logging operations in Maine's north woods. The orthophoto imagery reveals the dense timberland and steep drainages that characterize the region, including the winding path of Moxie Stream as it flows toward the main river valley. To the south, the clear waters of Pleasant Pond sit at the base of the prominent Pleasant Pond Mountain, with the smaller settlement of Pleasant Pond visible along its shores. This 1977 aerial survey provides a clear view of the logging roads and natural corridors that defined the local economy and geography in the late 1970s, long before modern development altered the rural character of the Maine wilderness.
