About this map

The town of Portage serves as the focal point of this northern Maine landscape, situated at the southeastern tip of Portage Lake. The settlement is connected by Me-11 and Portage Rd, which follow the lakeshore past several community sites including the Allen St Peter Memorial Airport and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Cem. Further north along the shoreline lies the small settlement of Buffalo, accompanied by the Buffalo Cem.

The eastern half of the area is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainages, including Moose Mtn, Three Burnt Mtn, and Lanigan Mtn. Between these heights, the landscape is etched by the W Br Beaver Brook and E Br Beaver Brook, which flow southward to join Beaver Brook. The concentration of small cemeteries like Goodblood Cem along the roads suggests a history of local family settlement amidst the rugged timberlands of Aroostook County.
