Mount Katahdin, located in Baxter State Park, Maine, stands as the northern terminus of the iconic 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail. Its highest summit, Baxter Peak, reaches an impressive 5,267 feet, making it Maine's highest point and the seventh highest peak in the Northeast. This granite giant rises more than 4,200 feet above its surroundings, offering a striking and solitary presence in the landscape.
"Katahdin," meaning "greatest mountain" in Penobscot, is a name befitting this majestic peak. The land was generously donated to the State of Maine by its 49th governor, Percival R. Baxter, who ensured its preservation as a wildlife sanctuary and public recreation area. The creation of Baxter State Park in 1931 fulfilled his vision of protecting this natural wonder for future generations.
This Katahdin Bench Mark Medallion replicates the bench mark found at the summit of Baxter Peak, located about 45 feet southeast of a 4-foot cairn. Adjacent to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, Katahdin holds sacred significance to the Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot nations, central to their oral histories, traditions, and cultural practices.
Commemorate your journey to this revered peak with our Mount Katahdin Bench Mark Medallion, a tribute to the spirit of adventure and the enduring beauty of Maine's greatest mountain.
