1993 Map of Clayton Lake

About this map

The remote borderlands of northern Maine and Quebec converge in this 1993 topograhic study, centered on the deep forests and intricate waterways of the North Woods. The Allagash Wilderness Waterway anchors the eastern half of the map, tracing a chain of significant bodies including Umsaskis Lake, Long Lake, and Priestly Lake. These waters have long served as essential corridors for timber and recreation, connected by landmarks like the Ninemile Bridge and Priestly Bridge. Along the western boundary, the international border is marked by the Maine United States line and the Saint-Pamphile crossing, complete with a Port of Entry and nearby Landing Strip. Scattered camps and historic sites such as Harvey Farm, Michaud Farm, and Blanchette Camp reflect the area's legacy of wilderness homesteading and seasonal sporting traditions within the watershed of the St John River.
