About this map

The Narraguagus River and its multiple branches define this interior Maine landscape, winding through a complex system of peat bogs and heaths. In the early 1980s, the small settlement of Deblois stands as the primary human landmark in the northeast, marked by a local Cem and several Gravel Pits. The topography is dominated by the granite rises of Tunk Mountain, Tucker Branch Mtn, and Spring River Mtn, which overlook a network of remote water bodies including Little Long Pond and Myrick Lake.

Extensive wetlands like Denbow Heath and Rock Dam Heath occupy the lowlands between the ridges, illustrating the glacial drainage patterns of the region. This survey captures a moment when the land was utilized for both its natural resources and its distinct terrain, as evidenced by the presence of the Spring River Dam and the various jeep trails that navigate the wooded heights of T 16 M D and T 10 S D.
