About this map

Number Nine Lake and the surrounding wilderness of Aroostook County define this northern landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Saddleback Mountain, Number Nine Mountain, and Meduxnekeag Mountain, which dictate the drainage patterns of the area. A complex network of waterways, such as the East Branch and West Branch Presque Isle Streams, winds through the lowlands between these elevations.

Evidence of human activity is sparse, centered primarily on seasonal or sporting locations like Mahan Camp and the access provided by Number Nine Lake Rd and Burnt Land Rd. The map also illustrates smaller water bodies like Presque Isle Lake and West Lake, which feed into the larger stream systems. This region remains a significant area for timber management and outdoor recreation, with features like Hedgehog Mountain and Spruce Top providing topographic landmarks within the deep Maine woods.
