About this map

Kokadjo serves as the focal point of this remote Piscataquis County landscape, situated at the critical junction where the Roach River meets First Roach Pond. The hydrology of the region is highly managed, evidenced by the Roach Pond Dam and the northern Lazy Tom Dam, which regulates the Lazy Tom Stream Reservoir. These waterworks, along with the surrounding network of brooks like Kidney Brook, Bear Brook, and Lagoon Brook, define the drainage patterns of the Maine woods in this era.

Transport into the backcountry is facilitated by Lily Bay Rd and Sias Hill Rd, which provide access to the timberlands and elevated points such as Siras Hill. The map detail captures a specific moment in the recreational and industrial use of these highlands, showcasing a landscape of interconnected ponds and streams including Jewett Pond and Lazy Tom Pond that have long drawn sportsmen and foresters to this section of the East Middlesex Canal Grant.
