About this map

The East Machias River winds through this Washington County landscape, connecting a network of glacial lakes and wetlands in the vicinity of Northfield. This modern survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, where the river passes through Great Meadow Riffles and Munson Rips. Significant water bodies like Round Lake, Long Lake, and Indian Lake dominate the terrain, often separated by distinctive landforms such as Long Lake Ridge and Talbot Ridge.

The presence of Joe Hanscom Heath and Great Meadow indicates the boggy, low-lying nature of the interior, while Long Lake is notable for its several named islands, including Pine Island, Birch Island, and Rock Island. A network of timber and access roads, including the Champion series, provides the primary infrastructure through these woods, tracing the historic movement of the local logging economy between the various streams and ridges.
