2011 Map of The Traveler

About this map

The Traveler and its sister peaks, North Traveler Mountain and South Traveler Mountain, anchor this portion of the Maine north woods. The landscape is defined by the dramatic relief between these summits and the intricate drainage systems that feed into the East Branch Penobscot River and Wassataquoik Stream. In the northern reaches, the river winds through The Oxbow and descends past Stair Falls, while to the south, the stream features notable drops at Grand Falls and Norway Falls. A singular evidence of former habitation or logging activity appears at Old City, situated along the lower waters. High-elevation features like Traveler Gap and Traveler Pond suggest a topography that dictated early movement through these hills long before the modern era of conservation. The area remains a complex network of ponds and ridges, from Middle Fowler Pond to Sable Mountain.
