5 years ago

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — The Maine Geologic Survey has named Quaggy Jo Mountain in Aroostook State Park as November’s Geologic Site of the Month, according to the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Parks and Lands.

In its November newsletter, the bureau said anyone can take a geologic tour of Quaggy Jo Mountain’s unique and impressive features through the Geologic Site of the Month guide, just released by the Maine Geologic Survey and archived on the Maine State Library’s Digital Maine Repository.

The guide provides a brief introduction and overview, and then starts the tour at the parking lot at the base of the mountain. Large photographs described in brief, concise text point out the features at each of the 12 tour stops.
