About this map

Baxter State Park encompasses much of this interior Maine landscape, where the northern reaches of the Penobscot River watershed meet a dense network of glacial lakes and mountains. The presence of Trout Brook Farm and Littlefield near the center of the survey indicates established outposts in a region primarily defined by its timber and water resources. The topography is dominated by peaks like Trout Brook Mtn and Horse Mountain, which overlook the expansive Grand Lake Matagamon.

Water management is evident at Norway Dam and Grand Lake Dam, highlighting the historical importance of controlling flow for log drives or power. Remote water bodies such as Scraggly Lake and Mountain Catcher Pond are connected by a system of logans and brooks, including Hay Brook Logan and Boody Brook. This 1988 provisional edition provides a detailed record of the park's interior access points and back-country campsites during the late 20th century.
