About this map

Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridges of Piscataquis County, crossing several prominent peaks including West Peak, Hay Mtn, and Gulf Hagas Mtn. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and drainage systems that feed the W Br Pleasant River. The interior is accessible via the Frenchtown Rd, which serves as a primary artery through this wooded terrain.

Water features define the lowlands between the peaks, from the sprawling Big Lyford Pond to the secluded Little Lyford Ponds. To the north and east, the map shows the complex hydrology of the West Branch, including First West Branch Pond and Second West Branch Pond. These water bodies, along with landmarks like Black Pinnacle and Hedgehog Mtn, illustrate the drainage patterns and topographic isolation typical of the Maine North Woods.
