1985 Map of Big Machias Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Big Machias Lake and its surrounding watershed define this portion of the North Maine Woods during the mid-1980s. This unorganized territory, divided into townships such as T 12 R 8 Wels and T 11 R 9 Wels, is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and timber-access infrastructure. The Machias River flows through the central terrain, fed by tributaries like Dead Brook and Twentyfive Mile Brook. Significant water features including McGowan Lake, Rowe Lake, and Pratt Lake dot the landscape, many with recorded water elevations. The presence of several Campsites and a network of private roads suggests the area's primary use for commercial forestry and seasonal recreation. High points like Bishop Mountain provide relief in a region otherwise dominated by the complex drainage patterns of Twentymile Brook and Clayton Stream.
