2021 Map of Houlton Pond

About this map

Big Black River flows across the northern edge of this remote Maine landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways and timber-access routes. The namesake Houlton Pond and nearby Blood Lake sit amidst a complex topography drained by Houlton Brook, Depot Stream, and several other tributaries. Unlike the more settled regions of Aroostook County, this area is characterized by its lack of established towns, consisting instead of unnamed townships where life revolves around the managed forest. The presence of routes such as Depot Rd and Nine Mile Rd suggests the historical and ongoing importance of the logging industry, connecting the isolated ponds and brooks that lace through the hills of T13 R16 WELS.
