About this map

Sugarloaf Mtn and the high peaks of the western Maine mountains anchor this topography, where steep elevations define the landscape's development. The settlement of Bigelow sits near the confluence of the South Branch Carrabassett River and the main Carrabassett River, serving as a central point for the network of mountain roads such as Carrabassett Dr and Access Rd.

Outdoor recreation and conservation are primary themes, evidenced by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding through the summits of South Crocker Mtn and Spaulding Mtn. Glacial legacies are visible in features like Crocker Cirque and the high-altitude Caribou Pond within Caribou Valley. The map also captures the local drainage systems of Stratton Brook and Rapid Stream, showing the intersection of Franklin and Somerset counties amidst this high-relief terrain.
