About this map

Kokadjo sits as the primary settlement in this northern Maine landscape, positioned at the critical junction where the Roach River flows out from First Roach Pond. A prominent Dam at this outlet indicates the historical management of these waterways for the region's logging or hydroelectric needs. The map detail reveals a complex network of brooks and streams, including Lazy Tom Stream and Bear Brook, which drain the timberlands of Frenchtown and the Spencer Bay township.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Sand and Gravel Pits located near the river and pond shores. The terrain is characterized by significant elevations such as Sires Hill, while the western edge reaches into the East Middlesex Canal Grant. This 1980s-era survey captures the area’s dependence on its water resources and the gravel extraction that supported the local road networks through the Piscataquis County wilderness.
