1987 Map of Johnson Brook Mountain

About this map

The Little Black River meanders through the heart of this North Woods territory, defining the drainage patterns and physical orientation of a heavily forested landscape in northern Maine. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations including Johnson Brook Mountain, Boat Landing Mountain, and Hafey Mountain. In the late 1980s, the area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of private logging roads and numerous tributaries such as Carrie Bogan Brook and Meadow Brook that feed into the primary river system. A single human landmark, the Boat Landing Camp, sits near the northern bend of the river, while to the south, the Little Black River passes Poplar Island before entering the township of Allagash. The map documents the intricate survey lines of the Unorganized Territory, including townships T 18 R 12 W E L S and T 18 R 11 W E L S, reflecting the region's history of timber management and remote wilderness use.
