About this map

Big Wilson Stream carves through the Piscataquis County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its timber heritage and mountain terrain in the early 21st century. The map highlights specific operational outposts like Saint Regis Depot Camp and Camp Twelve, reflecting the area's continued connection to the forest products industry. These small settlements and work camps are interspersed among dramatic geographical landmarks, including the precipitous Big Wilson Cliffs and the jagged Barren Ledges.

Water serves as the primary artery for the territory, with the course of Long Pond Stream flowing past the Bodfish Intervale toward the expanse of Lake Onawa. From the high elevations of Boarstone Mountain to the rushing waters at Slugundy Falls, the map documents a network of logging roads like Drew Valley Rd and Mountain Rd that provide the only terrestrial links through this complex watershed of ponds and brooks.
