2021 Map of McKeen Lake

About this map

The Allagash River winds through this northern Maine landscape, characterized by its complex network of waterways and secluded basins. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the river flows past Spring Bank Rapids and the prominent McGargle Rocks, revealing the physical challenges navigated by early river travelers. Centered in the map is McKeen Lake, which feeds into the eponymous McKeen Brook, while Mink Pond sits further south. The presence of Big Brook Rd provides the primary overland access through this timberland region, crossing over Big Brook and Squirrel Brook. This 2021 survey documents a terrain where drainage patterns and water bodies like McKeen Island dictate the movement of people and resources.
