About this map

Doubletop Mtn and the sharp peaks of The Brothers define this Piscataquis County landscape, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southeastern corner near Grassy Pond. The map reveals a high-elevation wilderness punctuated by descriptive landmarks like Moose Bosom and The Klondike, reflecting a terrain shaped by steep ridges and glacial basins. Settlement is restricted to small clearings such as Nesowadnehunk Field and Foster Field, which serve as hubs for the trail network, including Park Tote RD and Turnpike RD.

A dense concentration of water bodies occupies the southern basins, with Kidney Pond, Slaughter Pond, and Jackson Pond connected by minor brooks and drainage patterns. This drainage includes the McManus Brook and the dramatic drop at Ledge Falls. The topographic detail captured here reflects the modern management of this backcountry area, maintaining a balance between the recreational corridors of the National Scenic Trail and the preservation of the surrounding peaks like Mt O-J-I and Bean Hole Mtn.
