2024 Map of Little Bigelow Mountain

About this map

Flagstaff Lake dominates the central landscape of this Somerset County region, its expansive waters fed by the Dead River and numerous mountain streams. The terrain is defined by the significant elevations of Little Bigelow Mtn and Blanchard Mtn, which provide a dramatic backdrop to the valley floor. The Appalachian National Scenic Trl traverses the southern ridges, passing near Safford Brook and Bog Brook. Historical remnants of the area's development are preserved at the Flagstaff Cem, located near the northern shore. The network of forest roads, including Long Falls Dam Rd and Carrying Place Rd, traces the movement of timber and outdoor enthusiasts through this corner of the Maine woods, connecting remote points like Spring Lake and Basin Pond to the broader geography of the Dead River watershed.
