2014 Map of Hay Mountain

A system of ponds and mountain peaks defines the topography north of the trail, including Big Lyford Pond, Little Lyford Ponds, and the steep elevations of White Cap Mtn and Black Pinnacle. The map captures the remote nature of the region in the early 21st century, where the only significant thoroughfare is Frenchtown Rd near First Roach Pond, highlighting the area's role as a critical corridor for long-distance hikers and a center for backcountry watershed management.
