About this map

Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southeastern heights of this Oxford County landscape, crossing near Surplus Mtn and the steep descent of Dunn Notch. This high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Dead Cambridge River and the Swift Cambridge River, which drain the basins between peaks like Spruce Mtn and Black Cat Mtn. The northwestern corner is protected as part of the Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, where B Brook feeds into the namesake B Pond.

Remote woods roads such as Popple Dam Rd and Andover Rd provide the only terrestrial access to these interior waters. Hikers and researchers can trace the dramatic elevation changes at Dunn Falls or locate smaller water bodies like C Pond, North Pond, and York Pond tucked into the mountain valleys. The map illustrates a primarily undeveloped wilderness where the economy of the land is shaped by its natural drainage and timber access routes.
