About this map

Chandler Mountain anchors this northern Maine landscape, a wilderness area defined by the convergence of the Aroostook River and the Aroostook and Penobscot county line. The terrain is marked by a complex network of waterways, including Chandler Lake and Chandler Stream, which flow through the timberlands of the W.E.L.S. townships. Small outposts like Hart Camp and Whipple Camp are the few signs of human habitation in this heavily forested region.

The mapping reveals the functional geography of the 1980s timber industry, noting several gravel pits used for logging road maintenance. Unique river features such as Salmon Pool and the Chandler Deadwater illustrate the slow-moving, braided nature of the drainage systems here. Remote access is highlighted by the presence of a campsite near the junction of Mooseleuk Stream and the main river, serving as a landmark for recreational navigation in the deep woods.
