This township has over six miles of of the east shoreline on Moxie Pond (Somerset County).  The 2370-acre pond has a maximum depth  of 50 feet. The pond is located east of Mosquito Mountain. Many small inlets enter from the east and west sides of the pond.

Its outlet, Moxie Stream, exits the north end through a dam in Lake Moxie Village in The Forks Plantation, and flows west to the Kennebec River. A boat launch is in that Village.

Little Moxie Pond is a relatively small pond at 73 acres and a maximum depth of 9 feet in the eastern most portion of the township. Little Moxie is approximately 20 miles southwest of Greenville. From the pond, looking south, is the barren top of Bald Mountain. The pond is both scenic and easily accessible. The woods roads to the pond usually allow travel by car in 1971, the latest survey.

Crossed with several dirt roads, likely for logging vehicles, there is no village and may not have any residents at all.
