2011 Map of Portage Lake West

About this map

Fish River dominates this northern Maine landscape, winding through a network of bends and points before feeding into the western reaches of Portage Lake. This 2011 survey documents a heavily wooded terrain shaped by its waterways, including Mosquito Brook and Dead Brook in the north and Chase Brook to the south. Notable shoreline features such as Indian Point and Oak Point characterize the lake's edge, while West Mountain and Hutchinson Ridge provide significant topographic relief. The transportation network is defined by rural access routes including Hewes Brook Rd, W Side Echo Lake Rd, and Fish Lake Rd, which connect remote camps and timber lands. Local landmarks like Hay Shed Bend and Big Pine Bend reflect a history of river-based activity and logging traditions in the Aroostook County wilderness.
