2024 Map of Quillpig Mountain

About this map

Bowers Pitch serves as a small point of human activity in this heavily forested region along the Hancock and Washington County line. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring the winding Narraguagus River and its distinctive horseshoe bend known as The Oxbow. A network of timber and access roads, including the notably named Stud Mill Rd, Hootiville Rd, and Gould Brook Rd, cuts through the dense woodland to reach various ponds and peaks. Significant elevations such as Quillpig Mtn, Oxbow Mtn, and Pleasant Mtn dominate the terrain, while numerous water bodies like Allen Pond, Mopang Lake, and Lower Sabao Lake fill the low-lying basins. The pattern of these names and roads reflects the long-standing importance of the timber industry and backcountry recreation in this part of Maine.
