2014 Map of Jackson Mountain

About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the northern highlands of this Maine landscape, cutting across a ridge system that includes Horn Hill and the Blue Mountains. This 2014 survey reveals a region defined by high-elevation water bodies and steep relief, centered on the massif containing Jackson Mountain, Little Jackson Mountain, and Tumbledown Mountain. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the Sandy River and Smalls Falls in the northeast contrasting with the numerous headwater streams like Jont Stream and the E Br Swift River that flow southward. Small, isolated lakes such as Southwest Pond, Harvey Pond, and Jackson Pond sit tucked between the peaks, while larger wetland features like Witham Bog occupy the high basins. The map captures the interface of Franklin Co and Oxford Co, where limited road access like Rangeley Rd and Crosstown Rd skirts the edges of the heavy terrain.
