About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the northeast and southeast corners of this Piscataquis County landscape, crossing near Nahmakanta Lake and Crawford Pond. This area of the Maine North Woods is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and prominent peaks, including Wadleigh Mtn, Nesuntabunt Mtn., and Female Mtn. The topography reveals the Wadleigh Valley and Turtle Ridge, which separate various drainage basins.

Water features dominate the terrain, ranging from the sizeable Penobscot Pond to smaller, isolated pools like Monkey Pond and Bog Pond. The presence of the Jo Mary Rd and the series of Roach Ponds, including Third Roach Pond and Fourth Roach Pond, indicate the limited but vital logging and recreational access routes used in this remote part of the state. The complex hydrography, featuring names like Birch Ridge Ponds and Yoke Ponds, highlights a glaciated landscape where water and wood have long been the primary interests.
