1990 Map of Parmachenee Lake

About this map

The Parmachenee Lake basin dominates this remote landscape along the international border between the United States and Canada. This 1990 provisional map documents a wilderness managed through organized townships like Lynchtown and Oxbow, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain streams and timber harvesting. The Magalloway River flows through the western edge, joined by the Second East Branch Magalloway River as it descends from the Thrasher Peaks. Significant elevations such as Cupsuptic Mountain and Bottle Mtn tower over the drainage basins of the Big Cupsuptic River and its various tributaries like Snow Mountain Brook. Several smaller water bodies, including Saturday Pond and Cleveland Pond, are scattered across the interior, connected by a network of logging roads and trails that serve the region's isolated gravel pits.
