2018 Map of East Carry Pond

About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this Somerset County landscape, following a high-elevation route past Bates Ridge and descending toward the Carry Pond chain. This collection of water bodies, including West Carry Pond, Middle Carry Pond, and East Carry Pond, defines the central drainage of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Hedgehog Mtn in the northwest and prominent landmarks such as Arnolds Point on the western shore of the ponds. A network of logging and access roads, including Carrying Place Rd and Lane Pond Rd, provides passage through the dense woodland. In the northern reaches, Pierce Pond and Little Grass Pond feed into a complex system of streams, illustrating the water-rich geography that has long served as a corridor for travel and recreation in the Maine woods.
