About this map

Deblois anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal Maine interior, where the West Branch Narraguagus River winds through a complex landscape of heaths and granite ridges. The topography is dominated by a series of prominent elevations, including the significant massif of Tunk Mtn and nearby Spring River Mtn. These peaks rise above a network of isolated water bodies such as Myrick Lake, Anderson Pond, and Tilden Pond, illustrating the post-glacial drainage patterns characteristic of the Downeast region.

Heaths and bogs define the lowlands between the hills, with large wetlands like Denbow Heath and Rock Dam Heath spreading across the northern reaches. Surveyors noted specific family-named landmarks and local sites like Alf Sproul Swamp and Joels Ledges, providing a detailed record of the terrain as it appeared in 2021. The sparse road network, featuring Worcester Peat Bog Rd and Beddington Rd, highlights the area's ongoing connection to its traditional natural resources and the surrounding wilderness.
