About this map

Sugarloaf Mtn and the surrounding high peaks of the Carrabassett Valley define this portion of the Maine interior, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through a landscape of significant vertical relief. The settlement of Bigelow sits near the Carrabassett River, serving as a focal point for a network of local roads such as Village on the Green Rd and Access Rd. The geography is characterized by glacial features like Crocker Cirque and prominent summits including South Crocker Mtn and Spaulding Mtn.

Water plays a vital role in the drainage of these mountains, with Stratton Brook and the S Br Carrabassett River cutting through deep valleys. Historically significant landmarks such as Owls Head and Burnt Hill overlook the Caribou Valley, while the Rapid Stream Valley marks the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This survey captures the modern infrastructure supporting the outdoor economy, from the development at the base of the mountains to the protected corridor of the national scenic trail.
