1986 Map of Big Rapids
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The St John River dominates this north Maine landscape, carving a wide path through the timberlands of Allagash and surrounding townships. This 1980s survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water and woods, where the river's descent is marked by turbulent stretches like Big Rapids, Fox Brook Rapids, and Poplar Island Rapids. The presence of several Campground sites along the riverbank and an isolated Clay Pit suggest a balance between recreation and small-scale resource extraction in this remote corner of Aroostook County.
