2018 Map of Farrar Mountain

About this map

Farrar Mtn and Shaw Mtn dominate the high ground of Frenchtown Township in this 2018 survey of the North Maine Woods. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic connection of the Roach Pond chain, where the Roach River links Second Roach Pond to First Roach Pond. The terrain shifts from the sharp elevations of Trout Mtn and the extended Long Ridge to the low, saturated environments of Long Bog and the wetlands surrounding Fourth Roach Pond. A network of logging and access roads, including Frenchtown Rd and Peninsula Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through these timberlands. The presence of named features like Hinckley Cove and Black Pond indicates a geography shaped by both glacial activity and the long-standing recreational and industrial use of Piscataquis County's interior waterways.
