About this map

Allagash Lake and Chemquasabamticook Lake dominate this remote northern Maine landscape, characterized by the intricate waterway networks of the North Woods. The region is largely defined by its timber and wilderness infrastructure, showing a transition from traditional water routes to the early logging roads marked as Private or Jeep Trails. Surveyors identified various Camps and a dedicated Forest Service Camp, reflecting the area's management and its role as a destination for sportsmen.

High points such as Allagash Mtn and Poland Mtn provide vertical relief in a terrain otherwise defined by glacial depressions like Frozen Ocean and the Russell Pond chain. Notable features for historians include the Lookout Tower on Allagash Mountain and several small Gravel Pits, which indicate localized extraction for road maintenance. This survey captures the vast township system, from T 10 R 16 Wels down to T 7 R 14 Wels, where the headwaters of the Wadleigh Stream and Poland Stream begin their course.
