1990 Map of Parmachenee Lake

About this map

The Parmachenee Lake basin and its surrounding timberlands are defined by the sharp international boundary of the United States-Canada border. This wilderness area, surveyed toward the end of the 20th century, showcases the complex drainage networks of the Magalloway River and its numerous tributaries like Moose Brook and Lynx Brook. The landscape is partitioned into unorganized townships including Lynchtown and Oxbow, where logging activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits tucked into the hillsides. Higher elevations are dominated by peaks such as Cupsuptic Mountain and Bottle Mtn, while water features like Little Boy Falls and Indian Cove mark the rugged transition from river to lake. Small bodies of water, including Otter Pond and Saturday Pond, are scattered throughout the dense drainages, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Oxford County backcountry.
