About this map

Fletcher Peak dominates this interior landscape of Washington County, overlooking a network of glacial lakes and connected waterways. This 2021 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where timber and water resources define the topography. The northern reaches are characterized by the interconnected Third Machias Lake, Fourth Machias Lake, and the smaller Farm Cove, while the southern expanse is anchored by Fifth Machias Lake.

Evidence of human transit and utility is sparse, centered primarily on the southern transit of Stud Mill Rd and the clearing at Fletcher Field. The terrain features several prominent rises such as Washington Bald Mtn and Knox Mtn, which rise above numerous drainage systems including Fletcher Brook, Hadley Brook, and Dead Stream. Islands like White Birch Island and Big Ship Island dot the larger lakes, suggesting a complex shoreline that remains largely undeveloped.
