About this map

Pleasant River Lake and its intricate shoreline of coves and points dominate this 2018 survey of the Washington County interior. The terrain is defined by a series of glacial and fluvial features, ranging from the prominent Northeast Bluff and Southwest Bluff to the expansive wetlands of Beech Hill Heath and the Bog Brook Flowage. Local roads such as Elsies Point Rd and Shore Rd trace the water's edge, providing access to landmarks like Dick Allen Cove and Parker Cove.

The map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by water and elevation, where the Pleasant River winds through a network of smaller ponds and brooks. Higher ground is marked by features like Pleasant Mtn and Spruce Ridge, while the southeastern corner levels out into Crebo Flat. This detail provides a clear view of the modern road network, including Beech Hill Rd and Hatchery Rd, carving through the dense woods and marshes typical of this Maine wilderness.
