1985 Map of Fish River Lake

About this map

Fish River Lake dominates this portion of the North Woods, serving as a central hub for the remote sporting and logging landscape of northern Maine. The map illustrates a wilderness economy transition, where seasonal recreation at Moose Point Camps and the Boat Landing sits alongside active resource extraction, evidenced by several Gravel Pit sites and a network of Private Road access routes. Distinctive landforms like Zella Island and Blueberry Island break the surface of the lake, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Chase Brook, Smith Brook, and the Fish River. The township boundaries, such as T 14 R 8 Wels, reflect the historic West of the East Line of the State surveying system, highlighting the area's identity as unorganized territory primarily managed for timber and seasonal residency.
