1988 Map of The Forks

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Forks sits at the dramatic confluence where the Dead River joins the Kennebec River, a historic focal point for Maine’s northern interior. This 1980s survey captures the region’s plantation-based boundaries, including The Forks Plantation, West Forks Plantation, and the unorganized township of Moxie Gore. The landscape is dominated by heavy relief, notably The Divide and the significant drop at Moxie Falls along Moxie Stream. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the large expanse of Pleasant Pond and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it winds over Pleasant Pond Mountain. This record preserves the location of remote landmarks such as Pooler Ponds and Martin Pond before the evolution of modern recreation and forestry infrastructure.
