1986 Map of Bull Brook

About this map

The headwaters of the Salmon and Beaver Brooks define this northern Maine landscape, where logging and forest management shaped the local geography in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a transitional period for the timberlands of Perham, Wade, and the surrounding townships. Isolated outposts such as Thompson Camp and Drost Camp are positioned near the network of streams, while a Lookout Tower atop Story Hill provides a vantage point over the dense canopy. The presence of a Gravel Pit indicates the ongoing maintenance of the unimproved road network required to navigate this remote terrain. Numerous waterways, including Gardner Brook, Bugbee Brook, and the namesake Bull Brook, create a complex drainage system across the township lines of T 14 R 5 W E L S and T 13 R 5 W E L S.
