About this map

The Allagash River winds through this remote northern Maine landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of forest waterways. The river's path is marked by notable natural landmarks such as McGargle Rocks and McKeen Island, while its tributaries, including Big Brook and McKeen Brook, reach deep into the timberlands of Aroostook County.

Evidence of seasonal human activity is centered at McKeen Camp, situated near the confluence of several streams. The interior terrain is defined by isolated water bodies like McKeen Lake and Mink Pond, which remain connected only by rudimentary tracks and the natural flow of Squirrel Brook. This map documents a region where the logging and river-driving heritage continues to shape the sparse settlement patterns and the naming of local landmarks.
