About this map

Traveler Mountain dominates the landscape of Baxter State Park in this mid-1980s topographical survey, revealing a wilderness of steep ridges and numerous water bodies. The massive central peak of The Traveler is flanked by North Traveler Mtn and South Traveler Mountain, separated by the distinctive Traveler Gap. To the south, the terrain falls away toward the Wassataquoik Stream, where the map identifies Norway Falls and Grand Falls.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the East Branch Penobscot River. This waterway features a series of notable river landmarks including The Oxbow, Stair Falls, and the Haskell Deadwater. Researchers of regional geography will find the label Old City near the confluence of Pogy Brook, providing a specific point of reference in an otherwise unsettled mountain wilderness.
