2014 Map of Metallak Mountain

About this map

Metallak Mountain stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation Maine landscape, situated where the borders of Oxford and Franklin counties meet. The area is defined by the massive bodies of Mooselookmeguntic Lake to the north and the connected Upper Richardson and Lower Richardson lakes to the west. This territory remains largely focused on outdoor recreation and wilderness conservation, evidenced by the presence of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding across the eastern ridges of Bemis Mountain and Elephant Mountain. At the southern tip of the Lower Richardson Lake, the small settlement of South Arm serves as a critical access point for water-based travel and logging roads like S Arm Rd. The intricate drainage system, featuring Metallak Stream, Metallak Brook, and Metallak Pond, illustrates the complex hydrology that feeds into the region's famous lake chain.
