2018 Map of Saponac

About this map

The Passadumkeag River snakes through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and glacial legacy. The small settlement of Saponac serves as a central point, situated near the shores of Saponac Pond and the river's path through the valley. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Passadumkeag Mtn and Lord Mtn, while the curious glacial formation known as The Horseback runs along the eastern border. This area showcases a complex network of waterways, including Nicatous Stream and Pistol Stream, flowing through expansive wetlands like Oaks Bog. Local history is anchored by the Turner Cem near Bryant Hill, providing a primary genealogical landmark for the region. The map captures a transitional wilderness where logging roads and ridges like Hathaway Ridge dominate the interior terrain.
