About this map

Round Mountain and the surrounding high ground of the North Maine Woods define this landscape at the boundary of Aroostook and Piscataquis Counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Moose Ridge, Lovejoy Ridge, and Peaked Mtn. This area is a significant hydrological hub, with numerous water bodies like Rowe Lake, Leonard Pond, and Spectacle Pond feeding into a network of drainage systems including Lovejoy Brook and Chase Brook.

A sparse network of unpaved access routes, such as Bartlett Pond Rd and Jack Mountain Rd, provides the only terrestrial connection through these remote townships. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of industrial timberlands, where roads are named for the specific natural features they reach, such as Week Pond Rd. This geography remains largely unsettled, preserved as a wilderness of working forests and mountain ponds.
