2011 Map of Hay Mountain

About this map

The West Branch Pleasant River winds through this heavily wooded corridor of the Maine North Woods, a landscape defined by its remote chain of lakes and high ridges. The Little Lyford Pond Camps are situated near the Little Lyford Ponds, marking a rare point of human infrastructure in an area otherwise dominated by physical geography. The topography rises sharply to landmarks such as Gulf Hagas Mountain and the prominent Hay Mountain, which provides a natural backdrop to the numerous drainages including Gulf Hagas Brook and White Brook. To the north, the waters of First Roach Pond and Big Lyford Pond anchor a complex hydrography that has long supported the regional timber and recreation economies. Transportation is limited to functional backcountry routes like Frenchtown Rd and Shaw Mountain Rd, which provide access to this interior segment of Piscataquis County.
