About this map

Baxter State Park dominates this northern Maine landscape, where the confluence of the Penobscot River and several large lake systems define the wilderness character of the late 1980s. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including First Lake Matagamon and Second Lake, which are regulated by infrastructure like Norway Dam and Grand Lake Dam. The presence of small settlements such as Trout Brook Farm and Littlefield suggests the localized agricultural and forestry history of the region.

Remote land management is evident through the numerous designated campsites and a system of private roads that snake around prominent peaks like Trout Brook Mtn and Horse Mountain. The topography transitions from the low-lying Hay Brook Logan wetlands to the steep elevations of Billfish Mountain. This period of the park's history is captured before modern developments, showing the traditional access points at Birch Point and Hub Hall Cove.
