About this map

The North Branch Meduxnekeag River snakes through the dense woodland of Aroostook County, defining a landscape of wetlands and ridges in the early 1980s. The small settlement at Harvey sits at a junction of backroads, including Wotton Road, while the community of Morey Brow occupies the western interior. This survey reveals a terrain shaped by glacial remnants, where numerous small bodies of water like Alberton Lake and Culling Pond are tucked between elevations such as Wellington Ridge and Sugar Loaf.

Resource extraction and local spiritual life are evident in the presence of Gravel Pits and The Lake Road Ch near Conroy Lake. The map details the complex drainage system of the region, from Meadow Brook in the north to Howard Brook in the south, illustrating the secluded and water-dependent character of these northern Maine townships before modern large-scale development shifted the local footprint.
