About this map

Witham Mtn and Stewart Mtn dominate this high-relief landscape in Franklin County, where narrow mountain roads like Long Falls Dam Rd and Howes Gifford Rd trace the contours of the northern Maine woods. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Sandy Stream and Michael Stream, which drain the steep slopes of Bald Mtn and Burnt Hill.

Evidence of local settlement and historical geography is found at Lexington Flats and the nearby Highland Cem along the western edge. These features, along with names like Schoolhouse Brook, suggest the locations of early rural life. The eastern portion of the map transitions to distinctive peaks such as Peaked Hill and Briggs Hill, while the presence of The Ledges and various small water bodies like Moores Pond illustrate a landscape largely shaped by natural drainage patterns rather than urban development.
