1985 Map of Farrar Pond

About this map

T 11 R 10 Wels (Dry Town) and surrounding unorganized townships in Aroostook County represent the deep timberlands of northern Maine during the mid-1980s. This survey, compiled from 1982 aerial photography, documents a landscape shaped by industrial forestry and the glacial drainage of the North Woods. Water dominates the terrain, from the southern expanse of Pratt Lake and the smaller Farrar Pond to the meandering courses of Twentymile Brook and Twentyfive Mile Brook. A network of unnamed Private Roads provides the primary access through these townships, linking scattered resource extraction sites like the Shale Pit and Gravel Pit. The map captures a specific moment in the land's management, highlighting the interface between remote recreational sites, such as the Campsite near the confluence of the Left Fork and Right Fork, and the commercial utility of the surrounding timber blocks in T 12 R 10 Wels and T 12 R 9 Wels.
