+ About this map
Katahdin rises 5,269 feet above the lakes and forests of central Maine, the highest point in the state and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The Penobscot people named it Katahdin, meaning greatest mountain, and it stands alone: no comparable summit interrupts the low country around it, so the massif dominates the horizon for miles in every direction. Thru-hikers finish a walk of more than 2,000 miles from Georgia on its summit.
This map captures the full sweep of the Katahdin massif. The contour lines trace the glacial cirques carved into its flanks, including the Great Basin below Chimney Pond, and the broad Tableland plateau that spreads west of the summit. The tight banding along the Knife Edge shows the narrow arête connecting Baxter Peak to Pamola Peak, while the wider spacing at the mountain’s base records how abruptly the terrain rises from the surrounding lowlands.
