About this map

The Allagash Wilderness State Waterway defines the character of this remote landscape, where the Allagash River flows southeast from the expansive Umsaskis Lake. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the map documents a region dominated by timber management and wilderness recreation, evidenced by numerous Private Road networks and several designated Campsite locations along the riverbanks.

The hydrology of the North Maine Woods is captured in fine detail, from the turbulent Chase Rapids to the quiet waters of Priestly Lake. Tributaries like Glazier Pond Brook, Chisholm Brook, and McCluskey Brook carve through the townships of T10 and T11, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Aroostook and Piscataquis county line. Small-scale industrial activity is noted by occasional Gravel Pit and Shale Pit sites scattered near the logging routes.
