1988 Map of Telos Brook

About this map

Allagash Wilderness State Waterway defines the northern edge of this remote Maine landscape, where water drainage patterns dictate the region's character. The map centers on the intricate network of streams and brooks feeding into significant bodies like Telos Lake and the expansive Nesowadnehunk Lake. Historically tied to the logging industry and wilderness preservation, the area is crisscrossed by private roads and trails that navigate the townships of T 5 R 12 Wels and T 4 R 11 Wels. A localized industrial footprint is visible at the Shale Pit, providing a rare point of terrestrial excavation amidst the dominant hydrography of Telos Stream and Ripogenus Stream. The terrain is characterized by its numerous small tributaries, including Midnight Brook, Carlton Brook, and Cuxabexis Stream, which illustrate the complex watershed management of Piscataquis County.
