2011 Map of Reed Pond

About this map

Reed Plantation and the surrounding wilderness are defined by an intricate network of waterways and high ground in this 2011 topographic survey. The landscape is anchored by the prominent Macwahoc Ridge and Beech Hill, while the Whitney Fire Tower stands as a notable landmark for fire lookout and navigation. The drainage pattern is complex, with the Macwahoc Stream and Wytopitlock Stream carving through the terrain, supplemented by smaller water bodies like Reed Pond and Juniper Brook. Local infrastructure is marked by several named thoroughfares, including Springer Rd and Jellison Rd, providing access to these timbered highlands. The map illustrates a rural Maine environment where the primary settlement at Reed is situated at the intersection of vital transit routes and several brooks, including Finn Brook and Prouty Brook, highlighting the area's historical reliance on its river systems.
