About this map

The Blue Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain along the boundary of Franklin Co and Oxford Co. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and alpine water features, including high basins like South Pond and Jackson Pond. Significant peaks such as Jackson Mtn, Little Jackson Mtn, and Tumbledown Mtn create a formidable geography that has remained largely undeveloped, centered on conservation and recreation.

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northern portion of the sheet, crossing Chandler Mill Stream and passing near the Witham Bog. In the northeast corner, the Sandy River flows past the landmark Smalls Falls as it drops toward the valley. The drainage patterns of the East Branch Swift River and Stockbridge Branch illustrate the complex watershed that feeds the lower Maine valleys, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of this wilderness area.
