2011 Map of Allagash Falls

About this map

The Allagash River carves through this northern Maine landscape, anchored by the significant geological feature of Allagash Falls in the northeast. This area of Aroostook County reflects a deep history of river-based commerce and wilderness outposts, evident in the presence of Cunliffe Depot Camp and Dows Camp along the riverbanks. The settlement pattern is sparse, defined by isolated holdings like Michaud Farm and Moores Farm, which occupy the few flat areas near the river's bend. Numerous tributaries including Ramsay Brook, Farm Brook, and Little McKinnon Brook feed into the main waterway. The presence of Pelletier Deadwater Islands suggests the slower, meandering character of the river in certain reaches, contrasting with the dramatic drop at the falls.
