2011 Map of Saddleback Mountain

About this map

Saddleback Mountain and the surrounding highlands of Franklin County define this landscape of interconnected water bodies and mountain recreation. The 2011 survey details the complex hydrography of the region, from the South Branch Dead River and Saddleback Lake in the north to the Sandy River Ponds and Long Pond at the southern boundary. Man-made interventions in this wilderness are evident through the Flagg Dam, Dead River Dam, and City Pond Dam, which regulate the flow of the South Branch Dead River and its tributaries. The map also documents the infrastructure of the Saddleback Ski Area and a dense network of local roads such as Dallas Hill Rd and Saddleback Ski Area Rd. Geological and recreational landmarks like Oakes Nubble, Piazza Rock, and Ledge Pond provide specific points of interest for navigating this high-altitude terrain in the early 21st century.
