About this map

McLean Mountain dominates this northern Maine landscape, a wilderness area defined by the headwaters of numerous streams and rivers in the mid-1980s. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the St Francis boundary toward the water-rich lands of St John Plantation. A network of logging roads and trails threads through the townships, including T 16 R 9 Wels and T 16 R 8 Wels, reflecting the area's timber-driven history.

Hydrological features are the primary landmarks here, with McLean Lake and Third Lake providing significant basins for local drainage. The map reveals an intricate watershed where the North Branch Birch River and South Branch Birch River converge. Cultural signatures are sparse in this remote timberland, though a lone Gravel Pit and several named water bodies like Horseshoe Pond and Gilbert Ponds serve as vital reference points for surveyors and outdoorsmen.
