About this map

The St John River and Allagash River converge in this northern Maine landscape, defining a region where water and timber have long dictated the pace of life. Near the small settlement of Dickey, a Landing Strip and a Gaging Station indicate the area's importance for local transport and hydrological monitoring in the mid-1980s. Further downstream, the village of Allagash sits near the confluence, surrounded by numerous river islands like Hog I and Wolf I.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Allagash State Wilderness Waterway, a protected corridor featuring technical river segments such as Eliza Hole Rapids and Twin Brook Rapids. Historical river landmarks like Ghost Landing Bar and Three Mile Island provide points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these legendary North Woods water routes.
