About this map

Fish River Lake dominates the eastern half of this wilderness terrain, characterized by a complex network of waterways and prominent high ground. The lake itself is punctuated by Zella Island and Blueberry Island, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the elevation of North Ridge and Sheldon Ridge. The hydrological pattern reveals a territory of converging streams, notably where the N Br Fox Brook and S Br Fox Brook meet before joining the main Fox Brook.

A sparse network of access roads, such as Wilderness Rd and S Branch Rd, provides entry into these timberlands. The presence of Fred Becks Camp Rd and Moose Point Rd near the lakeshore suggests a history of seasonal camps and recreational access typical of the Maine North Woods. This 2014 survey documents a landscape focused on natural resources and drainage, from Mud Pond in the southeast to the northern reaches of Chase Brook.
