1986 Map of Eastman Brook

About this map

The confluence of the Northwest Branch River and the Southwest Branch St John River defines this heavily forested corner of northern Maine. Situated along the boundary between Aroostook and Somerset Counties, the landscape is primarily characterized by township divisions T 11 R 17 Wels and T 10 R 17 Wels. The absence of developed towns emphasizes the region's historical reliance on timber and natural resources, evidenced by a network of Private Roads and local Gravel Pits. Waterways like Eastman Brook, Bean Brook, and Oak Brook provide the primary geographic markers across the undulating terrain. This 1986 survey represents the area just as modern forest management practices were being documented on provisional topographic sheets, capturing the St John River system in its remote, industrial timberland state.
