2018 Map of Northwest Pond

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States forms the central spine of this topography, separating the high peaks and glacial water bodies of northwestern Maine from the drainage basins of Quebec. The landscape is defined by its series of high-altitude ponds, including Big Island Pond and Little Northwest Pond, which are tucked into the steep slopes of the western frontier. This is a region dominated by the heights of Indian Stream Mtn, where the transition from Maine's Franklin and Oxford counties occurs amidst a network of remote timber roads and footpaths.
