About this map

The East Machias River winds through this coastal Maine landscape, connecting a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands in the late 1980s. Small riverside settlements like Chase Mills and Halls Mills define the local human geography, situated among larger water bodies including Gardner Lake and Second Lake. The presence of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge and Hobart Bog highlights the protected conservation areas that dominate the eastern portion of the sheet.

Transportation is limited to unimproved roads and trails, such as those leading to High Head or around Orange Lake. Evidence of local industry appears at a Gravel Pit and a designated Boat Ramp on Rocky Lake, suggesting a balance between small-scale extraction and recreational lake use. Detailed topography reveals the varied terrain between MaceIroy Heath and Sunken Lake, providing a clear look at the drainage patterns of Clifford Stream and Indian Stream.
