2021 Map of Tumbledown Mountain

About this map

Tumbledown Mtn and Number Six Mtn dominate this remote stretch of the Maine woods, where the high ridges of Somerset and Franklin counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Spencer Stream and its tributaries like W Br Spencer Stream and Sweetster Brook, which carve through the steep terrain. This 2021 survey reveals a territory largely shaped by the natural drainage of the North Woods, with scattered high-altitude water bodies such as Rock Pond, Blakeslee Lake, and Iron Pond situated among the peaks. Limited access to these interior heights is provided by timber and access routes like Spencer Bale Rd and Appleton Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern forestry management and the preserved wilderness of the Number Five Mtn area.
