About this map

Pine Stream wanders through this wetland-dense region of Piscataquis County, defining a landscape of low-lying flowage and secluded water bodies. The geography is dominated by a complex network of glacial ponds, including the centrally located Grassy Pond and the more remote Deer Pond to the east. Transportation through this timberland is limited to a handful of unpaved routes like the Golden Rd and Salmon Pond Rd, which provide access to the interior for those managing the northern Maine woods.

While largely unpopulated by permanent settlements, the area around Little Lobster Lake and Salmon Pond serves as a modern representation of the Maine backwoods. The map detail highlights the hydrography of small tributaries such as Beaver Brook and the clustered ponds like Shack Pond and Round Pond, illustrating the saturated, marshy character of the terrain that has likely remained unchanged for generations.
