2014 Map of Old Speck Mountain

About this map

Old Speck Mountain stands as the centerpiece of this high-elevation Oxford County landscape, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through some of Maine's most challenging mountain passes. The terrain is defined by the steep cuts of Grafton Notch and dramatic geological features such as Screw Auger Falls Gorge and Moose Cave Gorge along the Bear River. This 2014 survey captures a wilderness area nearly devoid of modern settlement, with the exception of the remote Ketchum area in the southeast. The map details a complex network of high-altitude water bodies and drainage systems, including Speck Pond and the headwaters of the Swift Cambridge River. Notable landmarks such as Table Rock and the deep cleft of Mahoosuc Notch offer significant points of interest for those studying the physical geography and trail history of the Mahoosuc Range.
