2021 Map of Round Pond

About this map

The Allagash River winds through this northern Aroostook County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a region defined by its dense networks of brooks and timberland heights. The river widens into Round Pond in the southeast, a significant water body flanked by the rising slopes of Musquacook Mtn to the north. This area reflects the remote character of the North Maine Woods, where the economy is driven by forestry rather than permanent settlements. A series of private logging roads, including Blanchette Rd, Inn Rd, and the curiously named Boulevard Rd, provide the only terrestrial access across the terrain. Numerous tributaries like Schedule Brook, Savage Brook, and Gamash Brook feed the main river channel, illustrating the complex hydrography that has long supported both the logging industry and wilderness recreation in this interior part of the state.
