About this map

The Moose River and its South Branch Moose River converge in this remote Maine township, defining a landscape dominated by complex waterways and timber-access roads. The international boundary between the United States and Canada runs along the northwestern edge, where the highlands of Clear Pond Mtn rise above the drainage of Smith Brook. Settlement is focused on the remote outposts of Skinner and Keough, which sit along the river corridor.

This 2018 survey reveals an intricate network of highland streams including Gulf Stream, W Br Gulf Stream, and E Br Gulf Stream. Timber management is evident in the naming of back-country routes such as High Chapperal Rd, Holeb Rd, and Goldbrook Rd. Numerous small water bodies, many with Indigenous-derived names like Oqim Pond, Sapet Pond, and Sipun Pond, dot the wetland-rich basins between Caswell Mtn and the larger Twin Island Pond.
