About this map

McNally Ridge and Maple Ridge dominate this interior Aroostook County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by an intricate network of waterways flowing through the North Woods. The small settlement at Pride sits near the upper reaches of the Saint Croix Stream, while numerous family-named and descriptive brooks, such as Roll Dam Brook and Boody Brook, suggest the historic importance of the logging industry and water-driven transport in the region.

Transport through this timberland is facilitated by a grid of specialized roads including Pollard Mtn Rd, Camp Wolette Rd, and St Croix Rd. The map illustrates a transitional environment where seasonal water bodies like Otter Pond feed into larger drainage systems like Trout Brook and Tracy Brook. For researchers, these specific hydrologic names and road designations provide a detailed record of land management and access in the Maine woods during the early 21st century.
