About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this undeveloped portion of Piscataquis County, crossing the terrain near Nahmakanta Stream and Cooper Brook. This late 1980s provisional survey captures a landscape dominated by timber management and wilderness recreation, characterized by the sprawling Nahmakanta Lake and the high ground of Potaywadjo Ridge.

Logging activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and a network of unimproved roads that navigate between numerous water bodies, including Tumbledown Dick Pond, Henderson Pond, and Church Pond. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of the region, from the shores of Pemadumcook Lake to the secluded Rabbit Pond, reflecting the classic northern Maine woods environment before modern development changed access patterns.
