2014 Map of Packard Lake

About this map

Packard Lake and Ketchum Lake sit within a landscape defined by significant timberlands and a complex network of branching waterways in this northern Aroostook County survey. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Nineteen Mtn and Estabrook Hill, which overlook the winding course of the N Br Meduxnekeag River as it moves through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The spatial arrangement of ridges like Collins Ridge and Chandler Ridge dictates the flow of numerous tributaries, including Number Nine Stream and Three Brooks. Local road networks, including E Plantation Rd and Kinney Rd, trace the valleys and foothills, providing access to these upland areas. This detailed mapping records the hydrography of the region just before the mid-2010s, capturing the specific naming conventions of the small brooks and family-named ridges that define this part of Maine.
