About this map

Chase Lake and Munsungan Lake dominate this northern Maine backcountry, where a complex network of glacial ponds and watercourses defines the terrain of T8 R11 WELS. The landscape is characterized by prominent high ground such as Ragged Mtn and Peaked Mtn, which overlook a series of smaller water bodies including Echo Lake and the series of Currier Ponds. A notable hydrological feature is Thirtyfoot Falls, located along the drainage near First Currier Pond.

Logging roads and remote access tracks like Pell and Pell Rd and Jack Mtn Rd provide the only infrastructure through these woods. The drainage patterns of Atkins Brook and Munsungan Brook reflect the region's wilderness character, serving as critical landmarks for those navigating the North Maine Woods. This survey captures the area's transition between the high ridges of Mule Brook Mountains and the low-lying wetland basins that feed into the larger lake systems.
