This map is your guide along the expedition route starting at the Kennebec River following approximately the actual route all the way to Lac Megantic, Canada roughly 80-miles distance.

The location of the expedition route is base upon local knowledge of the landscape, historical maps and personal accounts. Along the way important expedition way-points are highlighted – often with accompanying entries taken from actual expedition journals written by expedition members.

On the back side of the map you’ll find hints and tips for traveling by automobile, hiking or canoeing along the route.

For those driving the route the mileages between way-points are listed out along with directions for viewing specific sites.

For hikers “The Great Carrying Place” portage trail provides a great hike.  The approximately 12-mile trail is well maintained, well marked, and mapped out in detail.

If you choose to canoe or kayak two sections of the route are covered. The Flagstaff Lake section outlines a two-day 11-mile trip and the Chain of Ponds section outlines a one-day outing covering about 5-miles.

All in all the map is a compact, informative guide that covers a grueling, 80-mile stretch of rivers, ponds and portages that the Arnold Expedition traversed to reach Quebec.(folded 4″x9″ unfolds to 18″x36″)

An unfolded map which is suitable for framing is also available.
