2024 Map of Number Four Mountain

About this map

Number Four Mtn and Lily Bay Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape in Piscataquis County, where a complex network of brooks feeds several secluded ponds. This modern survey illustrates the hydrology of the North Woods, showing how Lily Bay Brook and Meadow Brook drain the northern slopes toward the boundary of Baxter State Park Rd. To the south, the terrain descends toward Upper Wilson Pond, a significant water body fed by South Brook and Mountain Brook. The map reveals the intricate placement of smaller waters like Baker Pond and Pearl Ponds, which are positioned between the steep rises of Elephant Mtn and Baker Mtn. The lack of dense settlement is evident, with only a few corridors such as Frenchtown Rd and Scammon Rd providing access to this wilderness area, highlighting the region's character as a site for conservation and back-country recreation.
