2014 Map of Caratunk

About this map

The Kennebec River flows southward through this Somerset County landscape, defining the western corridor where the settlement of Caratunk and Us-201 are established. This 2014 survey captures the area’s reliance on the river and its tributaries, including Pleasant Pond Stream and Robinson Pond Outlet. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Moxie Mtn and Cow Mtn, revealing a wilderness dotted with numerous isolated water bodies such as Decker Ponds, Doughnut Pond, and Chase Pond. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northern reaches, crossing the river near the village center. Local heritage is marked by the Caratunk Cem and Stevens Cem, providing anchor points for genealogical research near the shores of Wyman Lake. The map details a network of backcountry routes like Canada Rd and Carry Pond Rd that serve the timberlands and remote ponds between the peaks of Black Nubble and Henhawk Ledge.
