2018 Map of Bog Lake

About this map

Northfield serves as the central settlement in this inland Washington County landscape, where the Machias River and East Machias River define the local topography. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including the expansive Bog Lake, Fulton Lake, and the marshy Pug-Heath. Numerous river features such as Bobsled Rips, Getchell Riffles, and Smith Mill Pitch indicate the historical importance of these waterways for navigation or industry. Significant elevations like Harmon Mtn and Andy Mtn overlook the low-lying lake basins, while roads like Diamond Match Rd and Smith Landing Rd point to the region's long-standing connection to the timber and matchwood industries. The map provides a look at the modern rural layout of these remote townships, preserving the names of localized landmarks like Crooked Pitch and Sumac Hill.
