About this map

Salmon Stream Lake and the surrounding wilderness of northern Maine are defined by a complex network of waterways and wetlands on this late 1980s map. The landscape is split between several townships, including the northern portion of Medway and the survey township Molunkus (T A R 5 W E L S). The terrain is largely dominated by the Salmon Stream drainage, featuring the wide Deadwater and the large expanse of Carlton Bog to the southeast.

Industry in this remote area is primarily represented by a single Gravel Pit near the lake, suggesting the resource extraction and timber-related road building prevalent in this part of Penobscot and Aroostook counties. Water bodies like Little Salmon Stream Lake and Flinn Pond sit amidst the high ground of Hersey, while numerous brooks such as Wadleigh Brook and Mud Brook carve out the low-lying wetlands that characterize this interior Maine landscape.
