About this map

The East Machias River winds through this section of Washington County, defining a landscape of interconnected water bodies and timber access routes. During this early 21st-century period, the area is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous lakes such as Long Lake, Round Lake, and Love Lake. The presence of Great Meadow Riffles and Munson Rips along the river indicates the traditional natural flow and elevation changes of these Maine waterways.

A network of forestry roads, including Wesley Rd and numerous Champion logging routes, spiderwebs across the terrain to reach high points like Talbot Ridge and the Round Lake Hills. Named islands such as Pine Island, Birch Island, and Rock Island dot the larger lakes, while smaller bodies of water like Seavey Lake and Indian Lake occupy the surrounding lowlands. This survey illustrates a modern era of land management where recreational and industrial interests meet in the Downeast interior.
