2011 Map of Montegail Pond

About this map

The Machias River and Mopang Stream systems dominate this interior Washington County landscape, revealing a remote wilderness shaped by timber and water. In the early 21st century, the area remains sparsely settled, centered on locations like Brewster Corner and the seasonal Pineo Camp. Significant water control is noted at Six Mile Dam on the Mopang, while the road network is defined by industrial passages such as Nash Timber Rd and Shadagee Ridge Rd. These routes provide access to a rugged interior of prominent heights, including Ben Tucker Mountain and Lower Buck Mountain. Numerous isolated water bodies like Montegail Pond, Hadley Lakes, and Black Brook Ponds underscore the glacial character of the region, where the Western Little River winds through a network of brooks and bogs typical of the Maine woods.
