About this map

The Hermitage stands as a notable landmark along the West Branch Pleasant River in this detailed survey of the Maine woods during the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Longfellow Mountains, including Barren Mountain, Fourth Mountain, and Chairback Mountain. Winding through this elevation is the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, providing a vital corridor for travel through the Bowdoin College Grant East and West areas.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Long Pond stretching across the center of the sheet and numerous cataracts such as Billings Falls, Stair Falls, and Buttermilk Falls marking the river's descent. The presence of the Gulf Hagas Trail near The Jaws reflects the long-standing recreational and timber-management history of Elliotsville Plt and the surrounding unorganized townships like T 7 R 9 W E L S.
