About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this high-elevation landscape in Franklin and Oxford Counties, tracing the ridgelines of Bemis Mtn and Elephant Mtn. This region is defined by the expansive waters of Upper Richardson Lake and Lower Richardson Lake, which are connected at the small settlement of South Arm. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Metallak Mtn and Old Blue Mtn, as well as several large islands including Toothaker Island and Metallak Island.

A network of remote access roads like S Arm RD and Old Co RD navigate the steep topography and dense forest, where numerous waterways like Metallak Brook and Mosquito Brook drain into the primary basins. The map illustrates a specialized geography of Maine's wilderness, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail provides a critical foot-traffic corridor through a landscape largely shaped by timber management and recreational lakes.
