2018 Map of Wadleigh Pond

About this map

The Somerset and Piscataquis county line bisects this remote reach of the Maine North Woods, a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways including Wadleigh Pond and the smaller Little Wadleigh Pond. The topography is characterized by seasonal brooks and drainage basins that feed into the larger Allagash Stream system. Modern logging and access roads such as Cyr Rd, Cave Rd, and Pingree Rd trace the contours between ridges, providing the only terrestrial routes through this heavily forested area. The map documents the headwaters and tributaries that define the local hydrology, such as S Br Allagash Stream and Wadleigh Stream. Small bodies of water like Saint Francis Lake and Pine Pond are tucked between the hills, while named drainage features like N Br Campbell Brook and Turner Brook illustrate the complex watershed of the Allagash wilderness.
