2024 Map of McLean Mountain

About this map

Jones Mill sits at the heart of this Aroostook County landscape, representing a rare point of human settlement amidst the dense hydrology of the North Maine Woods. The terrain is defined by a network of basins and flowing water, including Third Lake and the isolated McLean Lake. In the northern section, Gilbert Ponds and the headwaters of Gilbert Brook suggest a complex drainage system typical of this region's timberlands. The lack of dense road networks or major towns highlights the area's character as a working forest and watershed, where industrial activity like milling historically provided the primary anchor for local names. This survey captures the topographical intricacies of a landscape where the movement of water and the legacy of early timber operations are the dominant historical markers.
