2014 Map of Wadleigh Mountain

About this map

Wadleigh Mountain and the surrounding peaks of Nesuntabunt Mtn and Turtle Ridge dominate this interior Maine landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and mountain ponds. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northeastern corner of the map, crossing Nesuntabunt Mtn as it skirts the western edge of Nahmakanta Lake. The terrain is significantly water-bound, featuring a chain of large bodies including Long Pond, Penobscot Pond, and the northern reaches of the Roach Ponds system, such as Fourth Roach Pond and Sixth Roach Pond. Access into this remote timberland is limited to a few arterial forest routes like Jo-Mary Rd and Roach Pond Rd, which connect the scattered pond clusters. This 2014 survey documents a region where the primary infrastructure remains tied to recreational trails and forestry access, preserving the character of the North Maine Woods.
