1986 Map of Seven Islands

About this map

The St John River winds through this heavily forested portion of northern Maine, defined by its complex network of tributaries and remote river crossings. Near the center of the map, the Seven Islands create a distinct braided channel in the river, a notable navigational feature in this wilderness area. The landscape is characterized by its timber-management infrastructure, with numerous Private roads providing the only access to the interior. These roads connect various water features such as Lizotte Brook, White Brook, and the small White Pond. Significant landmarks for those navigating the river include the Priestly Rapids and the Priestly Bridge, which serves as a rare crossing point near a designated Campground. This territory is divided into several administrative townships, including T 14 R 15 W E L S and T 13 R 14 W E L S, reflecting the structured survey system of the North Maine Woods.
