1979 Map of Witham Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Witham Mountain anchors this 1979 orthophotograph of the Maine woods, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and watercourses. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery reveals the precise texture of the forest cover and the winding path of Sandy Stream as it cuts through the valley. The convergence of Michael Stream and smaller tributaries like Barker Brook illustrates the natural drainage patterns of this upland region. Landforms such as Peaked Hill stand out as clear navigational landmarks in an area otherwise dominated by dense timber and seasonal runoff channels. This document provides a direct visual record of the forest density and land use in Somerset County just before the 1980s, offering a clear view of the logging roads and clearings that mark the era's timber industry.
