2024 Map of Wadleigh Mountain

About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the northeastern and southeastern corners of this Piscataquis County landscape, crossing near Nahmakanta Lake and Crawford Pond. This area is defined by a dense network of glacial ponds and significant topographic relief, centered on the heights of Wadleigh Mtn and Nesuntabunt Mtn. The hydrology of the region is complex, with numerous interconnected water bodies including Penobscot Pond, Big Pleasant Pond, and the various Roach Ponds such as Third Roach Pond. Timber management and recreational access are facilitated by unpaved corridors like Jo Mary Rd and Johnston Pond Rd, which wind through the Wadleigh Valley. The map illustrates a largely uninhabited interior typical of Maine’s North Woods, where the landscape is organized by peaks like Female Mtn and the long spine of Turtle Ridge.
