2011 Map of Northwest Pond

About this map

Massachusetts Bog and its associated Massachusetts Bog Stream dominate the northern drainage of this remote borderland terrain between Maine and Quebec. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Massachusetts Bog Dam and numerous numbered structures like Big Island Pond Dam Number 4 and Little Island Pond Dam Number 3. These dams suggest a history of controlled water flow for local industry or timber transport along the Kennebago River. The area is characterized by a series of interconnected ponds such as Northwest Pond, South Boundary Pond, and Little Island Pond. Human infrastructure is minimal, centered primarily on the Kennebago River Rd which follows the river's path, providing access to these isolated waterways.
