About this map

The St John River defines the northwestern corner of this remote Maine landscape, where the traditional land divisions of T 12 R 15 W E L S and T 11 R 14 W E L S meet. This 1980s survey illustrates a region dominated by a complex network of waterways, centered on the aptly named Ugh Lake and the smaller Agnes Pond. These water bodies feed into a dense system of drainages, including Cunliffe Brook and Holmes Brook, which eventually contribute to the Chemquasabamticook Stream in the southeast.

A network of private roads provides the only terrestrial access through this heavily forested timberland. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before major modern changes, noting the specific paths of Gilbert Brook, Kelly Brook, and Little Gilbert Brook. The absence of permanent settlements or public highways underscores the wilderness character of the West Enfield Lumberman's Survey townships during this era.
