About this map

Tug Mountain and the surrounding ridges of Washington County define this landscape, where the Machias River winds through a complex network of waterways and glacial landforms. The topography is marked by prominent elevations like Canaan Ridge and Bacon Ridge, punctuated by isolated features such as Porcupine Pinnacle and Breakneck Hill. A system of named streams and ponds, including Dead Stream, Old Stream, and Bowles Lake, indicates a watershed that has long supported local timber and recreational interests.

Modern infrastructure is represented by Me-9, which traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle alongside sections of Old Me-9. The map also reveals an extensive network of forest management roads, such as Dead Stream RD and CCC RD, which provide access to the interior. These routes connect various water bodies, including Salmon Pond, Kerosene Pond, and Pickerel Lake, illustrating the area's continued use for resource management and outdoor navigation in the early twenty-first century.
