2018 Map of McKeen Lake

About this map

The Allagash River winds through this undeveloped portion of Aroostook County, passing McKeen Island and the turbulent Spring Bank Rapids. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the main river channel is fed by numerous tributaries including Big Brook, McKeen Brook, and Squirrel Brook. Away from the river banks, the terrain rises toward landmarks like McGargle Rocks. Evidence of human passage in this wilderness is limited to the winding path of Big Brook Rd, which provides access to the interior. The presence of McKeen Lake and Mink Pond further illustrates the water-heavy nature of this territory, which remains dominated by natural features rather than established settlements.
