About this map

The Arnold Trl cuts a historic path through this Franklin County landscape, following the winding course of the North Branch Dead River. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by high elevations and a complex network of waterways, where the Kibby Range dominates the northern half of the quadrangle. Significant water features like Jim Pond and Blanchard Pond are linked by numerous brooks and streams, including Shadagee Brook and Viles Brook.

Evidence of the area's geography is found in the steep descents that create Saramphus Falls and Shadagee Falls. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Me 27 and local logging or access roads like Kibby Stream Rd and Alder Stream Rd. Small mountain peaks like Antler Hill and Chase Pond Mtn rise above the secluded ponds, illustrating the transition between the river valleys and the upland ranges of western Maine.
