2018 Map of Ragmuff Stream

About this map

Ragmuff Stream and its tributary Little Ragmuff Stream define the drainage of this Piscataquis County timberland landscape. The area is characterized by a network of logging and winter roads, including Black Pond Winter Rd and Loon Lake Rd, which provide the primary access through the dense wetland and forest terrain. Water bodies such as McGooseley Pond and the small Little Scott Pond are centers for local hydrology, feeding into various named brooks. Notable for the genealogist or local historian are the several family-named or descriptively named watercourses, such as Dead Man Brook and Big Scott Brook, which suggest the historic human presence and working history of these Maine woods. The naming of Dead Man Brook Rd and Scott Brook Rd further underscores how these natural features dictated the early transportation routes through the township.
