About this map

Columbia Falls Air Force Station dominates the eastern landscape of this Washington County interior, a Cold War-era installation also marked on the map by its acronym Cfafs. The area is defined by a dense network of waterways feeding the Machias River, including Montegail Stream and the expansive Montegail Pond. The topography transitions from low-lying bogs like Brandy Heath and Big Heath to distinct summits such as Ben Tucker Mountain and the curiously named Haunted Bald Head.

Evidence of historical industry and local geography is preserved through labels like Brewster Corner and the Six Mile Dam (Site). The river system features several named navigational challenges for woodsmen and boaters, including Penman Rips, Horse Rips, and Upper Wigwam Rapids. This survey also delineates the complex township boundaries of T 25, T 24, T 18, and T 19, which characterize the land divisions of the Maine woods.
