2024 Map of Allagash Lake

About this map

Allagash Lake and its surrounding water network define this remote Piscataquis County landscape, characterized by a complex system of interconnected ponds and streams. The terrain is anchored by significant elevations such as Poland Mtn and Allagash Mtn, which overlook a series of glacial depressions including Upper Ellis Pond, Johnson Pond, and Mile Pond. These water bodies are fed by numerous tributaries like Wadleigh Stream and the South Branch Allagash Stream. The sparse road network, consisting of Pingree Rd and Ellis Pond Rd, suggests a region primarily used for timber management and wilderness recreation. Traces of historical land use are visible in the naming of features like Narrow Ridge and the various brooks that flow through the timberlands, providing a clear view of the north woods' drainage patterns in the early 21st century.
