About this map

Squa Pan Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Aroostook County survey, rising between the expansive Squa Pan Lake to the west and a series of stream valleys to the east. The 1980s terrain is characterized by its working timberlands and remote outposts, featuring the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line tracing the northern shore of the lake. Small points of settlement and access, such as Walker and Husdn Landing, dot the shoreline, providing entry to the water from the surrounding wooded townships.

Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the North Branch Presque Isle Stream and Alder Brook, which feed into Alder Lake in the north. Significant landmarks like Squa Pan Knob and the geographic depression known as The Notch provide essential navigational reference for this section of the Maine interior, while named locations like Swanback Clearing suggest historical land use and early homesteading efforts in the townships of Squapan and Colbath.
