About this map

Longley Pond and the surrounding wetlands of Piscataquis County define this interior landscape of Northern Maine. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of glacial water bodies, including the expansive Shallow Lake and Umbazooksus Lake, connected by drainages such as Longley Stream and Ellis Brook. The presence of Smith Brook Bog and Ellis Bog indicates a saturated, low-relief environment where land and water frequently merge, typical of the North Woods hydrography.

Industrial and logging access is evidenced by a sparse network of unpaved corridors including Pingree Rd and Winter Rd. These routes, along with Black Pond Winter Rd, provide the primary navigation through the timberlands. The map also documents smaller, secluded features like Little Longley Pond and Little Shallow Lake, offering a detailed view of the region's aquatic geography used by generations of sportsmen and foresters.
