1985 Map of Island Pond

About this map

Winterville Plantation and the surrounding unorganized townships of the North Maine Woods appear here as they were surveyed in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, with the Birch River and Red River flowing through dense timberlands toward the western shore of St Froid Lake. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a widespread network of unnamed Private Roads reflects the active logging industry that has shaped this part of Aroostook County for generations. Notable water bodies such as Island Pond, Lucifee Pond, and Horseshoe Pond are connected by small tributaries like Island Pond Stream, illustrating the drainage patterns of this remote northern interior. The topography is further marked by features such as Red River Falls and the rocky prominence of Red Ledge, providing a clear record of the natural terrain before modern developments or changes in land use.
