1978 Map of Wadleigh Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Wadleigh Mountain dominates this North Woods landscape, which is defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and drainages in Piscataquis County. This orthophotoquad, derived from aerial photography taken in late 1978, provides a visual record of the forest canopy and logging road patterns during a period of active timber management. The map reveals the relationship between the elevated terrain of Turtle Ridge and the surrounding water bodies, including the significant reach of Nahmakanta Lake in the northeast and the isolated Penobscot Pond in the center. To the south, the sheet documents the transition into the Roach Pond drainage system, centered on Third Roach Pond and Big Pleasant Pond. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based study allows researchers to observe the exact density of vegetation and the specific paths of minor waterways like Farrar Brook.
