About this map

Allagash Wilderness State Waterway defines the eastern boundary of this remote northern Maine landscape, where the waters of Eagle Lake gather the drainage of a complex brook and pond network. The terrain is characterized by the unorganized townships of T 10 R 13 W E L S, T 10 R 14 W E L S, T 9 R 13 W E L S, and T 9 R 14 W E L S, showing a wilderness area managed for timber and conservation rather than permanent settlement.

Hydrological features dominate the geography, including Clarkson Pond and Lower Russell Pond, which feed into the North and South branches of Russell Brook. The map records several industrial sites necessary for local road maintenance, such as a Shale Pit and various Sand and Gravel Pits near the Middle West Branch Thoroughfare. These small-scale extraction points are the primary signs of human modification in a region otherwise defined by names like Snare Brook and Poulin Bk.
