content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Maine's Mt. Katahin and its Great Basin from the summit of South Turner Mountain to the east. In the middle distance at lower center, a small lake with wooded shores is visible, possibly Sandy Stream Pond or one of the Whidden Ponds. The Katahin massif stretches horizontally across the composition, with the ridge to Howes Peaks ascending out of frame at right, Hamlin Peak the rounded prominence at center right, and Mt. Katahin with Pamola Peak at center left. Throughout, white gouache is used to highlight ridges and washes.
