I'm heading up to Baxter this week (Nesowadnehunk) and with the weather looking pretty crappy I've been mapping out some alternate hikes. One peak that has had my interest for awhile is Mt OJI. There is a pretty large discrepancy on the route between CalTopo's Mapbuilder and Gaia versus my NatGeo maps and the USFS layer. See attached photo.
My Maine AMC Guide (2012) doesn't really say much (it's a terrible guide book) but it does appear to describe the USFS route. Curious if there has been a reroute of this trail since? The track on Gaia and CalTopo looks like it would be a fantastic hike zigzagging up the valley and including West Peak. The USFS layer also shows a "Foot Path" which also disagrees with the NatGeo maps.
If anyone can shed any light on the accuracy of the map it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
