Maine High Peaks
1:130,000
24 inch x 20 inch — flat wall map, printed on a heavy fine paper — shipped rolled.
The Maine High Peaks region. Feature overview and general reference map of the High Peaks area in Western Maine. This extent includes the section of the Appalachian Trail north of Andover from Old Blue/Elephant/Bemis > Saddleback > Mt. Abraham > Sugarloaf > The Crockers > the Bigelow Range and ending at the Carry Ponds. Centered upon the Saddleback and Tumbledown/Weld area the extent also includes the regional towns of Farmington, Wilton, New Vineyard, New Portland, Strong, Phillips, Kingfield, Carrabassett Valley, Stratton/Eustis, Rangeley, Oquossoc, Kennebago Lake, Byron, Andover and the northern tips of Rumford/Mexico.
The shaded relief base layer includes a generalized land cover class differentiating the montane spruce/fir & krummholz from lower elevation vegetation types. Labeled for reference -- trails (e.g. the AT, Fly Rod Crosby, Maine Huts & Trails, Maine BPL), trailheads, alpine ski slopes (Saddleback, Sugarloaf, Black Mtn., Titcomb Mtn.), landmarks (Wire Bridge, Wilhelm Reich Museum, etc.), place names, summits with elevations, rivers, lakes, ponds, highway and road names. Fee owned public lands -- the National Park Service's Appalachian Trail Corridor and Maine BPL (Bureau of Parks and Lands) preserves (e.g. Bigelow) are mapped and labeled including the very recent Cascades addition along the Orbeton and Perham Streams (non-profit conserved lands are not mapped, though some of their trails are included). Fee sites included are labeled accordingly.
The High Peaks have been an important part of my life. While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2005 I distinctly recall an immediate affinity for the area while approaching Saddleback's alpine ridge and the joy of continuing through the Bigelow Range under stunning weather and pleasant temperatures. It seemed there was a great place to swim and relax at the end of every day's giant rewarding climbs and descents. A year later I lucked into a job in Farmington and constantly explored the area, climbing Little Jackson & Tumbledown every day I could, skinning up Saddleback and Sugarloaf past the season's end to telemark the spring corn with new friends. Eventually reality set in and I knew I'd have to move away to pay off my student loans. This map captures all the places and names that I know have brought so many others fantastic memories and experiences.
