2021 Map of Black Nubble

About this map

Black Nubble and the high ridges of Franklin County dominate this 2021 landscape, illustrating the wilderness of western Maine as it appears in the early 21st century. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, crossing Crocker Mtn and South Crocker Mtn before continuing toward the Redington Pond Range. This area of Redington Township remains largely defined by its natural drainage systems, including the complex headwaters of Nash Stream, the W Br Nash Stream, and Stoney Brook. The map reveals the limited human footprint in the region, primarily restricted to remote corridors like Navy Rd and the northern boundary of Rangeley. Significant elevations such as Mt Redington and Hedgehog Hill provide a clear view of the high-altitude terrain that has long shaped the recreation and timber history of the Carrabassett Valley region.
