1989 Map of Beetle Mountain

About this map

Reed Mountain and Beetle Mountain anchor this 1989 survey of the Maine North Woods, a landscape defined by an intricate network of remote water bodies and timberland terrain. The map captures a wilderness area organized by the township and range system, specifically covering portions of T8 R11 W E L S and its neighbors. A significant drainage system is visible, dominated by the elongated Chandler Pond and the meandering East Branch Deadwater, which feeds toward the Moose River. Smaller, isolated ponds like Blackmore Pond and Pretty Pond are scattered among the ridges, reflecting the glacially-carved geography of Piscataquis County. This edition is particularly useful for tracking the primitive road and trail networks used by foresters and sportsmen during the late twentieth century, including routes near Bluffer Ridge and the South Ridge.
