About this map

Upper Mc Nally Pond anchors the southeast corner of this remote Aroostook County terrain, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways. The drainage patterns of Little Musquacook Stream and Twentyfive Mile Brook illustrate the complex hydrology of the North Maine Woods, which remained largely undeveloped through the mid-1980s.

Logging and resource extraction are the primary human imprints on the land, evidenced by several Shale Pits and Gravel Pits positioned along a network of unnamed private roads. The administrative boundaries of Dry Town and surrounding townships reveal the systematic surveying of this timber-rich region. From Squirrel Pond to the winding course of Caribou Brook, the map provides a look at the commercial forest landscape before the expansion of more modern infrastructure.
