2014 Map of The Traveler

About this map

The Traveler dominates this interior Maine landscape, where the Piscataquis Co and Penobscot Co boundary lines meet along its high ridges. The terrain is defined by a massive volcanic massif featuring N Traveler Mtn, Traveler Mtn, and S Traveler Mtn, carved by a network of drainage systems including Traveler Brook and Pogy Brook. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the site of Old City sits near the banks of Wassataquoik Stream, a location once critical to the regional logging industry. To the east, the East Branch Penobscot River winds through the valley, marked by significant river features such as The Oxbow, Stair Falls, and Haskell Rock Pitch. This 2014 survey documents a wilderness landscape managed for timber and conservation, where modern roads like New River Rd trace paths near quiet water bodies like Messer Pond and Middle Fowler Pond.
