About this map

The town of Northfield is positioned as a central hub in this Washington County landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The eastern portion of the area is defined by the winding East Machias River, featuring named rapids like Crooked Pitch and Smith Mill Pitch. The presence of Marks Lake Dam at the southern edge of Marks Lake suggests a history of local water management, likely connected to the region's long-standing timber and milling traditions.

Terrain features such as Harmon Mountain, Andy Mountain, and Sumac Hill rise above the wetlands, while unique bogs like Pug Heath dot the northern reaches near Horseshoe Lake. Movement through the area is facilitated by many descriptively named local routes, including Smiths Landing Rd and Black Cow Meadow Rd, which connect scattered points like Smith Landing on the Machias River to the more interior lakeside settlements.
