About this map

Fish River winds through the northern reaches of this Aroostook County landscape, punctuated by several rapids and the High Landing site. The topography is defined by the transition between low-lying wetland basins and prominent elevations such as Ferguson Mountain and Carr Pond Mountain. To the south, Carr Pond and the headwaters of Chase Stream dominate a basin framed by Freeman Ridge and North Ridge.

This 1980s provisional survey shows a wilderness region managed for natural resources, evidenced by the scattered Gravel Pits and a network of private roads that provide access to remote camps and timber stands. The presence of numerous small water bodies, including Moccasin Pond, Fish River Lake, and Sterling Pond, indicates a heavily glaciated terrain where seasonal drainage and permanent ponds form the primary geographic anchors for local navigation and land use.
