1986 Map of Fool Brook

About this map

Chemquasabamticook Lake (Ross Lake) anchors the eastern edge of this northern Maine landscape, where the convergence of several major drainage systems defines the terrain. The map captures a transition point in the Maine North Woods, where the borders of Somerset, Aroostook, and Piscataquis counties meet. A network of logging access points is evident, marked by a primary Private Road and a notable Gravel Pit used for local infrastructure. The drainage basin includes Fool Brook, Center Brook, Mills Brook, and Sweeney Brook, which together carve the topography into a series of ridges and valleys. Human presence is sparse, centered primarily around Gannett Camp near the lakeshore, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of this timber and recreation-oriented territory during the mid-1980s.
