About this map

Mt Bigelow and its prominent summits, West Peak and Avery Peak, anchor this detailed survey of the Maine backcountry. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from high ridgelines to the expansive waters of Flagstaff Lake, which surrounds landmarks like Hurricane Island. The path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high ground, passing The Horns Pond and the eponymous peaks of The Horns.

North of the main ridge, the terrain descends through a series of named elevations including Jim Eaton Hill and Picked Chicken Hill before reaching the shores of Spring Lake. Local infrastructure is represented by primitive and secondary routes like Long Falls Dam Rd and W Flagstaff Rd, which navigate the drainage basins of Hurricane Brook and Reed Brook. The map captures the boundary where Somerset and Franklin counties meet amidst this wilderness topography.
