1989 Map of Long Pond

About this map

Mackamp serves as a small rail and river settlement in this northwestern Maine wilderness, positioned where the Moose River enters the eastern reach of Long Pond. The landscape is dominated by heavy timberlands and massive peaks, including Williams Mountain and Parlin Mountain, which overlook a complex network of glacial ponds and streams. Water dominates the geography here, from the expansive Parlin Pond to smaller isolated bodies like Fernald Pond, Snake Pond, and Durgin Pond. A unique administrative history is visible through the unconventional survey boundaries of Misery Gore and several numbered townships like Johnson Mountain. This late-century survey captures the region's character as a working forest and sporting destination, where narrow trails and logging roads provide the only access to landmarks like Bean Brook Mtn and the remote waters of Cold Stream Pond.
