About this map

The Blue Mountains of Western Maine dominate this landscape, defined by a series of prominent peaks and high-elevation drainage systems. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the northern section of the map, winding past South Pond and Witham Pond before following the height of land. In the southern portion, the massif containing Jackson Mtn, Little Jackson Mtn, and the iconic Tumbledown Mtn creates a natural barrier, with Jackson Pond situated in a high glacial basin between them.

Water movement is central to the area's character, with the Sandy River and the upper reaches of the Swift River carving through the terrain. Notable features such as Smalls Falls on the Chandler Mill Stream highlight the sharp drops in elevation characteristic of the region. The boundary between Franklin Co and Oxford Co runs through the southwestern corner, cutting across the slopes of Dolly Mtn.
