The park that bears his name now covers 209,501 acres and includes Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest peak. National Geographic's Trails Illustrated map of Baxter State Park combines unmatched detail with helpful information to offer an invaluable tool for making the most of your visit. Expertly researched and created in partnership with local land management agencies, this map features key points of interest including Katahdin Iron Works, Borestone Mountain, Trout Brook Farm, and South Branch Pond.
