About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridges of this Maine wilderness, crossing over West Peak and Hay Mtn in a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and remote water bodies. This 2018 survey captures the intricate drainage system of the Piscataquis County woods, where the W Br Pleasant River and its various branches connect a series of remote waters including Big Lyford Pond and the Little Lyford Ponds.

The presence of Frenchtown Rd and Katahdin Iron Works Rd highlights the long-standing importance of timber and industrial access in this region. While settlements are absent, the naming of peaks like White Cap Mtn and Hedgehog Mtn alongside smaller features like Gulf Hagus Brook provides essential landmarks for understanding the area's geography and the legacy of backcountry travel through the Maine North Woods.
