1988 Map of Nahmakanta Stream

About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this Piscataquis County landscape, following the course of Nahmakanta Stream and traversing the prominent heights of Potaywadjo Ridge. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a dense network of glacial water bodies, from the sprawling reach of Nahmakanta Lake in the northwest to Pemadumcook Lake on the eastern edge. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Cooper Mountain and a complex drainage system including Deadwater Brook and Tumbledown Dick Brook. Human activity is minimal and focused on resource extraction, indicated by a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary. The map captures the remote character of these unorganized townships, including T 1 R 11 W E L S and T A R 10 W E L S, where small ponds like Henderson Pond and Church Pond remain largely isolated by the wooded terrain.
