About this map

Deblois sits at the northeastern corner of this Downeast Maine landscape, where the Narraguagus River and its various branches carve through a complex of peat bogs and heaths. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Tunk Mountain in the south and Tucker Branch Mtn, interspersed with glacial features like Denbow Heath and Rock Dam Heath. This 1982 survey illustrates a region dominated by logging roads and trails rather than dense settlement, reflecting the industrial and recreational character of the Hancock and Washington County borderlands.

Water management is evident at Spring River Dam, while the presence of a small Cem and scattered Gravel Pits near the town of Deblois provides clues for genealogists and local historians. Named landmarks such as Joels Ledges, Fremont Peak, and McCabe Mtn stand out against the extensive wetlands of Dog Brook Swamp and Alf Sproul Swamp, showcasing the varied terrain of the Maine interior during the early 1980s.
