About this map

Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this mountainous terrain in Piscataquis County, marking a high-elevation landscape defined by steep ridges and remote water bodies. The path traverses notable elevations including Barren Mtn and Boarstone Mtn, providing a detailed view of the North Woods' topography. In the lower elevations, Big Wilson Stream and Long Pond Stream drain the highlands, punctuated by dramatic landmarks like Slugundy Falls and the sheer Big Wilson Cliffs.

The settlement of Morkill stands as a point of human interest in an area otherwise dominated by nature. Water features such as Indian Pond, Cranberry Pond, and Little Wilson Pond are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrography of the region. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of recreational trails and traditional landmarks like Bodfish Intervale and Barren Ledges.
