About this map

Machias River and Old Stream dominate this interior landscape of Washington County, where the topography is defined by prominent elevations like Tug Mountain and Bacon Ridge. This 2011 survey captures the network of water bodies and timber-access routes that characterize this part of Maine, including the remote Worcester Lodge and several water-management points like Robinson Dam and Canaan Dam. The terrain is a complex system of drainage and ridges, with named features such as Porcupine Pinnacle and Breakneck Hill rising above the surrounding lowlands.

Transportation through the area relies on historic thoroughfares such as Old Route 9, while specialized routes like Sugar Camp RD and CCC RD suggest the region's long-standing connection to forest management and seasonal camps. From the isolated waters of Kerosene Pond to the larger expanse of Bowles Lake, the map provides a clear record of the hydrography that has shaped the human and natural history of the T30 MD BPP township.
