2021 Map of Island Falls

About this map

Island Falls serves as the primary focal point of this Aroostook County landscape, situated at the confluence of Fish Stream and the West Branch Mattawamkeag River. The terrain transitions from the river valley up toward Robinson Mtn and the long elevation of Delette Ridge. To the north, the small settlement of Batesville is marked near the Bates Cem, reflecting the early 20th-century footprint of rural township life. The river itself is punctuated by natural landmarks like Stair Falls and Warren Falls, while a network of industrial and local roads, including Champion Paper Rd and St Regis Paper Rd, indicates the enduring importance of the timber and paper industries to the regional economy. The map also detail numerous waterways such as Alder Brook, Bog Brook, and Crystal Brook, which defined the drainage and settlement patterns of this Maine wilderness.
