Piscataquis County, MAINE - Doubletop & Oji Mountains

Description: Piscataquis County, MAINE - Doubletop & Oji Mountains - Grassy Pond: Doubletop Mountain is a mountain located in Piscataquis County, Maine, in Baxter State Park. According to Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, the mountain's Indigenous name was Psinskihegan-I-Outop. Psinskihegan means notch and I-Outop means head. In 1828 in the Survey of Maine, Moses Greenleaf called the mountain a variation Chinskihegan or Outop. It eventually became Doubletop, named for its two peaks. Mount OJI, or O-J-I, is located in Baxter State Park in the U.S. state of Maine, with an elevation of 3419 feet (1042 m). The mountain is named after a rock face which once formed the letters O-J-I but was mostly destroyed by the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. This is the last in a series of peaks connected to Mount Katahdin and proceeding west from the mountain. On its back side is a large unvisited spruce flat called the Klondike. The elevation of the Klondike is 2900 feet, and it is shaped like a triangle, with O-J-I at its southwestern vertex. Prior to the 1938 hurricane, the shapes of the landslides on O-J-I spelt out OJI. They have become more nondescript since then. The principal trees are coniferous: white pine and some red pine, balsam fir, red spruce, jack pine and American yew. Deciduous trees include sugar maple, red maple and moose maple (the only non-oriental stripe-barked maple), paper birch and yellow birch, beech, aspens, bayberry, mountain-ash and black ash. Diapensia and several endemics, including sedges, rhodora and tiny willows are found in these mountains. This Linen Era postcard (1930-45) is in good condition. American Art Post Card Co.
