About this map

The remote Maine wilderness where the Somerset Co Piscataquis Co line divides the landscape is defined by the complex headwaters of the Allagash wilderness. Centered on Maple Ridge, this terrain transitions from the heights down to the extensive wetlands and water bodies that feed the legendary north-flowing river system. The northern edge is dominated by the reach of Chemquasabamticook Lake and its tributaries, including Ross Inlet and the North Branch Ross Inlet.

To the south, the drainage patterns are marked by the meeting of the West Branch Allagash Stream, Middle Branch Allagash Stream, and the main Allagash Stream. Isolated water bodies like Desolation Pond, Corner Pond, and the central Allagash Pond sit between these branches. The minimal road network, including Boise Cascade Rd and Narrow Pond RD, reflects the industrial forestry character of the modern era in this deep North Woods interior.
