1986 Map of Oxbow West

About this map

The Aroostook River winds through this northern Maine landscape, serving as the central axis for Oxbow Plantation during the mid-1980s. This territory is defined by its complex hydrology and the legacy of timber management, evidenced by the numerous brooks and distinctive "deadwaters" like Osgood Deadwater and Umcolcus Deadwater. Small settlements and seasonal outposts such as Arbo, Junkins Camp, and the Gate House appear alongside the Oxbow Checkpoint, indicating the controlled access typical of private timberlands in this era. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Orr Ridge and Sugar Berth Ridge, which overlook a network of private roads. To the south, the boundary between Aroostook and Penobscot counties cuts through the wilderness near La Pomkeag Lake, illustrating the political divisions in this heavily forested region of the North Maine Woods.
