2024 Map of Montegail Pond

About this map

Montegail Pond and the surrounding wilderness of Washington County define this modern topographic study of Maine's interior. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, where Mopang Stream and the Machias River wind through low-lying areas like Brandy Heath and Taylor Branch Swamp. Notable elevations such as Upper Buck Mtn and Ben Tucker Mtn rise above the basin, providing landmarks for the logging roads that crisscross the territory. Cultural geography is represented by a sparse network of private roads, including Bombing Range Rd and Shadagee Rd, which serve the area's timber and recreational interests. This map highlights the unique hydrology of the region, featuring distinctive rapids and eddies like Horse Rips and Machias Eddy that have long guided movement through these woods.
