About this map

Flagstaff Lake dominates this landscape, its irregular shoreline wrapping around landmarks like Hurricane Island and reaching toward the base of Flagstaff Mountain. The topographic detail shows a dramatic shift from the wide water to the steep, prominent ridgeline of the Bigelow Range. High-altitude features such as The Horns, West Peak, and Avery Peak define the southern portion of the sheet, where the Bigelow Lookout Tower stands as a notable human-made landmark overlooking the wilderness.

Several smaller water bodies and streams, including The Horns Pond and Spring Lake, are tucked into the high elevations and northern valleys. Access to these remote reaches is traced through a limited network of roads like Long Falls Dam Rd and W Flagstaff Rd. This survey documents the area's transition from low-lying wetlands and inlets like Becky Inlet to the high alpine peaks that characterize this part of Maine.
