2018 Map of Umsaskis Lake East

About this map

Umsaskis Lake and the Allagash River define this stretch of the North Maine Woods, where the boundary between Aroostook and Piscataquis counties cuts across the water. The landscape is primarily a working forest, shaped by a network of timber industry routes like the American Realty Tote Rd and Realty Rd, which connect the remote interior to broader logging operations. This survey documents the hydrography of the region's upper reaches, including Priestly Lake and several drainage systems like Glazier Brook and McCluskey Brook. The presence of the Lac Frontiere-Churchill Rd indicates the primary terrestrial access through this undeveloped territory, illustrating the infrastructure required for large-scale forest management and the enduring isolation of the Allagash Wilderness at this point in the twenty-first century.
