About this map

The East Machias River flows through a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and glacial water bodies in this 1990 Washington County survey. The area is characterized by massive boggy expanses like Joe Hanscom Heath and the Great Meadow, which includes the Great Meadow Riffles. These low-lying peatlands and marshes are framed by higher ground such as Talbot Ridge and the Hills surrounding Round Lake.

Remote and primarily centered on the river-and-lake system, the map shows several islands including Pine I, Birch I, and Middle Island within Long Lake. Though predominantly a wilderness of streams like Rocky Brook and Northern Stream, small-scale human industry is visible in various sand and gravel pits and a boat ramp on the western shore of Long Lake, suggesting the area's continued use for local resource extraction and recreational access.
