2021 Map of Little Bigelow Mountain

About this map

Flagstaff Lake dominates this landscape, its expansive waters submerging much of the valley floor between the high ridges of the Bigelow Range. Along the northern shoreline, the Flagstaff Cem remains a significant touchstone for local genealogy, preserved near the banks of the Dead River. The topographic detail reveals the sharp rise of Little Bigelow Mtn to the south, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds along the crest. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the lake's edge to the high peaks, tracing timber and access roads like Long Falls Dam Rd and N Bowtown Rd that connect the remote camps and clearings. Historically minded researchers will find the placement of John Gilberts and the winding Carrying Place Rd essential for understanding the legacy of transit and settlement in this portion of the Maine wilderness.
