2021 Map of The Forks

About this map

The Forks serves as a central point of reference in this interior Somerset County landscape, where the confluence of major waterways and high peaks dictates the layout of the land. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the map, crossing over the heights of Pleasant Pond Mtn and Mid Mtn before descending toward the shores of Pleasant Pond. This area is defined by its dramatic relief and significant water features, including the notable Moxie Falls along Moxie Stream and the elevated waters of Prescott Pond and Lake Moxie to the northeast. Historical access routes like Boise Rd and Fish Pond Rd provide the primary corridor through the timbered terrain. The arrangement of features like The Divide and Mosquito Mtn highlights the complex topography that has long influenced the logging and outdoor traditions of this Maine wilderness.
