About this map

Tramway serves as a focal point in this remote corner of Maine, where the waters of Eagle Lake and Chamberlain Lake meet. The landscape is defined by its complex network of waterways, including the winding Allagash Stream and its descent at Little Allagash Falls. This 2014 survey documents a territory shaped by timber history and isolation, reachable via forest routes like Grande Marche Rd and Narrow Pond Rd.

The presence of features like Hog Island and Farm Island within the lakes, alongside the expansive Upper Deadwater and Allagash Lake, highlights the importance of the Allagash Wilderness area. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Second Ridge down to the secluded basins of Lower Ellis Pond and Little Shallow Lake, preserving the spatial layout of one of the most storied backcountry regions in the Northeast.
