About this map

Upper Richardson Lake and Richardson Lake dominate this landscape in the western Maine woods, connected by the hydrological control of Middle Dam. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a wilderness defined by water and high ground, where the Rapid River flows westward toward Umbagog Lake. The geography is marked by numerous family and descriptive landmarks such as Portland Point, Hardscrabble Island, and the distinctive neck known as The Narrows.

Transport is limited to backroads like South Arm Rd and Pine Point Rd, reflecting the remote character of Oxford County. Rising above the lakes, Moose Mountain and South Mountain provide significant relief, while smaller water bodies like Cranberry Pond and Fox Pond are tucked into the drainages of Sturtevant Stream. The map captures the quiet intersection of forest management roads and historic sporting destinations.
