2018 Map of Big Machias Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Big Machias Lake dominates the central basin of this North Maine Woods territory, serving as a primary collection point for the Machias River drainage system. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the W Inlet and Twentymile Brook feed into the larger lakes. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain shaped by modern forestry access, with the prominent Realty Rd and Carr Pond Rd cutting through the timberland to connect remote water bodies like Clayton Lake and McGowan Lake. To the west, the Twenty Mile Counter ridge line marks a significant elevation change, overseeing the numerous feeder streams including Twentyfive Mile Brook and Billings Brook that characterize this undeveloped wilderness of Aroostook County.
