About this map

The high peaks of western Maine dominate this landscape, centered on the prominent massif of Saddleback Mtn and the surrounding wilderness of Redington Township. The Appalachian-National Scenic Trail traverses the ridgeline, passing a network of high-elevation water bodies including Eddy Pond, Ethel Pond, and Saddleback Pond. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region, where the South Branch Dead River and Sandy River originate among steep slopes and glacial features like Oakes Nubble.

In the lower elevations, the settlement at Dallas and the shores of Rangeley Lake show a mix of established roads and seasonal access trails. Local history is preserved in small family burial grounds such as Oakes Peary Cem near Dallas Hill Rd and Brooks Cem along the Sandy River Ponds. The presence of numerous named brooks and ponds, from Rock Pond to Gull Pond, highlights the area's enduring character as a water-rich timber and recreation highland.
