2024 Map of Island Pond

About this map

Saint Froid Lake anchors the northeast corner of this northern Maine landscape, where the Birch River and Red River converge. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining the timberlands, including Dead Brook, McNally Brook, and Buggy Brook. This 2024 U.S. Geological Survey data illustrates a wilderness character largely devoid of dense settlement, instead shaped by logging access routes like Red River Rd and Hewes Brook Rd. Significant water features such as Red River Falls and the secluded Lucifee Pond near Horseshoe Pond suggest the traditional recreational and resource-based utility of the Aroostook County backwoods. The presence of Red Ledge and Hewes Brook Pond further highlights the varied glacial geography that dictates movement through this part of the state.
