1986 Map of Mc Keen Lake

About this map

The Allagash Wilderness State Waterway defines the northern reach of this Aroostook County survey, capturing a remote stretch of the North Maine Woods in the mid-1980s. This corridor of the Allagash River features technical water for river travelers, including Spring Bank Rapids, the McGargle Rocks, and McKeen Rapids near McKeen Island. The landscape is typical of the region’s timber-focused geography, delineated by the Public Land Survey System into townships like T 15 R 11 Wels. Away from the main river, the terrain is dotted with interior water bodies such as McKeen Lake and Mink Pond. The presence of several Campsites and a system of unnamed Private Roads and Private Roads illustrates the dual use of the land for wilderness recreation and industrial logging, further evidenced by a small Gravel Pit near Squirrel Brook.
