About this map

The boundary between Piscataquis Co and Aroostook Co bisects this northern Maine wilderness, a landscape dominated by prominent peaks and ridges. High points such as Round Mountain, Peaked Mtn, and Spectacle Mtn define the topography, while lower-lying areas are characterized by a network of drainage systems including Chase Brook and Lovejoy Brook. The region is dotted with several significant water bodies, most notably Rowe Lake, Bartlett Pond, and Weeks Pond.

Logistics and access to these interior lands are provided by a series of back-country roads like Jack Mountain Rd and Week Pond Rd. The map illustrates a classic Maine forest management landscape, where the naming of geographical features like Moose Ridge and Lovejoy Ridge reflects a long history of local lore and early surveying. These named brooks and ponds remain critical identifiers for those navigating the North Maine Woods.
