About this map

Eagle Lake and Chamberlain Lake dominate the eastern edge of this Piscataquis County landscape, where the settlement of Tramway sits along the narrow passage between these two major water bodies. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water features, including the Allagash Stream which flows through Little Round Pond and over Little Allagash Falls. The map reveals the intricate hydrology of the Maine north woods, from the broad Upper Deadwater along Ellis Brook to isolated basins like Otter Pond and Little Shallow Lake.

Logistics in this timber-rich region are dictated by a few primary corridors, notably Narrow Pond Rd and Winter Rd. These routes cut through the high ground of Second Ridge, providing access to the remote interior. The presence of named landmarks such as Farm Island and Hog Island indicates a history of localized use within the larger lakes, while the namesake Tramway point serves as a critical historical link for transport between these interconnected drainage basins.
