About this map

The East Machias River winds through this section of Washington County, connecting a vast network of glacial lakes and wetlands in the Downeast interior. The settlement of Jacksonville serves as the local hub near the southern edge, situated at the confluence of the river and several local thoroughfares like Chases Mill Rd and Jacksonville Rd. The landscape is dominated by significant water bodies, including Hadley Lake, Gardner Lake, and Rocky Lake, which are bordered by expansive marshy areas such as Berry Heath.

Evidence of historical land use and recreation is found in the naming of rural routes and family landmarks, from Palmer Landing Rd on the shores of Hadley Lake to the elevated Rocky Ridge that separates the northern lake basins. The presence of smaller bodies of water like Little Lily Lake and Marks Lake, alongside numerous inlets like Northern Inlet and Southern Inlet, illustrates the intricate hydrology that has long defined the timber and sporting traditions of this Maine region.
