About this map

Chimenticook Stream and Pocwock Stream meander through this northern Maine wilderness, a region defined by extensive timberland and a complex network of waterways. The landscape, part of the West of East Line of State (WELS) townships, shows a terrain dominated by Rocky Mountain and etched by smaller tributaries like Seminary Brook and Twamile Brook. In the southeast corner, the St John River flows through a series of Rapids, marking a significant natural boundary and historical transportation corridor.

Evidence of human activity is centered on the logging and recreational use of the woods, with a marked Campsite and a Ford crossing the water. A Gravel Pit suggests local resource extraction for the maintenance of the numerous unimproved roads and trails that crisscross the townships, such as T 16 R 13 Wels and T 17 R 14 Wels. This survey documents the area's geography before more modern forest management altered these specific logging trails.
