2011 Map of Pine Stream Flowage

About this map

Pine Stream meanders through the North Maine Woods, defining a landscape dominated by water and timber in the early twenty-first century. This region, characterized by its labyrinth of interconnected ponds and brooks, is anchored by the presence of Golden Rd, a vital private hauling road central to the area's forest economy. The map illustrates how water moves across this terrain, from the sprawling northern reaches of Chesuncook Lake to smaller, distinct basins like Salmon Pond and Little Lobster Lake. The density of these water bodies, including Moosehorn Stream and Quaker Brook, suggests a wilderness managed primarily for large-scale forestry, where the topography is shaped as much by these drainage patterns as by the isolated roads that pierce the canopy.
