About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northern elevations of this Piscataquis County landscape, passing landmarks like Bear Pond Ledge and Juniper Knee Bog. To the south, the settlement of Monson serves as a hub for the local slate industry, evidenced by the presence of the Eighteen Quarry Pond and roads such as Hillside Quarry Rd and Farm Quarry Rd. These features reflect a history of extraction that shaped the town's development and its transportation network, including the Narrow Gauge N corridor.

Water dominates the eastern terrain, where Big Wilson Stream flows past Willimantic toward Tobey Falls Rd. Genealogists will find significant records at several burial sites, including Monson Cem, Hillside Cem, and the Riverside Cem located along the banks of Monson Stream. The area's complex geography is further defined by prominent heights like Greenwood Mtn and Davis Mtn, separated by low-lying wetlands such as Beetham Swale and Doughty Bog.
