1988 Map of Farrar Mountain

About this map

Farrar Mountain and Shaw Mountain dominate this landscape within the unorganized territories of Piscataquis County, marking the transition between the watershed of First Roach Pond and the more northern Second Roach Pond. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timberlands and water bodies, including Trout Mtn and the winding Roach River which connects these glacial lakes. The presence of a Sand + Gravel Pit near the river indicates the localized industrial use of the land, while numerous named drainages like Bear Pond Brook and Hinckley Brook trace the descent from the peaks into Hinckley Cove. This survey reflects the remote character of Shawtown and Frenchtown during the late twentieth century, showing a region almost entirely dedicated to forestry and wilderness recreation.
