About this map

The West Branch Carrabassett River flows through the southern reaches of this Maine landscape, where the settlement of Salem serves as a local crossroads. Rising to the north, the massive prominence of Mount Abraham dominates the geography, flanked by Lone Mountain and Farmer Mountain. The area is defined by its network of high-elevation drainages, including Perham Stream, Quick Stream, and Rapid Stream, which carve through the terrain toward the lower valleys.

Evidence of the region's timber and recreational orientation is seen in the remote settlement at Barnjum and the numerous rural routes such as Fish Hatchery Rd and Bray Hill Rd. This survey documents a transition between the rugged peaks of the interior and the small riverside communities, preserving the late twentieth-century road network that connects isolated features like Black Nubble and Bray Hill to the primary transit corridors.
