About this map

The East Branch Penobscot River flows through this North Woods landscape, marked by a series of significant water features and historic portage routes. The Indian Carry connects Webster Brook to the river system, reflecting the traditional transit patterns of the Maine wilderness. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the small settlement of Fowler Green and the junction at The Crossing provide evidence of local land use near the intersection of Grand Lake Rd and S Branch Pond Rd.

Dominating the topography is Wadleigh Mountain, overlooking a dense network of brooks and ponds including Frost Pond, Second Lake, and Blunder Pond. The river's course is punctuated by Grand Pitch, a notable feature for river navigation. This area, largely defined by its hydrography, remains a critical corridor for timber and recreation, with named brooks like Boody Brook and Hinckley Brook feeding into the larger river and lake system.
