About this map

Carrabassett and the mountain slopes of Franklin County define this 2018 survey, centered on the Carrabassett River and its numerous high-elevation tributaries. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks including Poplar Mtn, Little Poplar Mtn, and the distinctive Owls Head, with significant water features like Redington Pond and Poplar Stream Falls carving through the terrain. The presence of the Sugarloaf Regional Airport near the confluence of Huston Brook and the river indicates the area's role as a regional transit point for the surrounding highlands.

Transportation is dominated by forestry and mountain access routes such as Carriage Rd and Long Falls Dam Rd, which skirt the Somerset County line to the northeast. Local history and geography are preserved in names like Shiloh Pond, Grindstone Pond, and Michael Stream, alongside established residential and access roads like Hammond Rd and Spring Farm Rd that navigate the varied elevations of the Ira Mtn and Clay Brook Mtn foothills.
