2018 Map of Mud Pond

About this map

Chamberlain Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Piscataquis County landscape, where the waters of the Allagash Wilderness region converge. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex network of glacial ponds and drainages, including the central Mud Pond and the northern tip of Chesuncook Lake. The presence of Carry Brook and Garry Bog suggests a terrain shaped by heavy saturation and seasonal water flow, long utilized by those navigating the legendary canoe routes of the Maine woods. A series of forest management routes, such as Winter Rd and Longley Stream Rd, provide the primary human access through this timberland. At Donnely Point, the shoreline of Chamberlain Lake reaches into the water, marking a distinct landmark for travelers navigating between Indian Pond and the southern lakes. This map serves as a contemporary record of a remote watershed that has remained largely defined by its natural hydrology for over a century.
