2021 Map of Wadleigh Pond

About this map

Saint Francis Lake and the surrounding timberlands of Somerset and Piscataquis counties define this remote northern interior of Maine. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including Wadleigh Pond and the headwaters of the Allagash wilderness system. The drainage pattern is particularly evident through the convergence of the S Br Allagash Stream and E Br Allagash Stream, which flow through the north-central portion of the quadrangle. Access to these backwoods is facilitated by a grid of logging routes such as St Francis Rd, Cave Rd, and Raleigh Trail Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural water systems and industrial forestry. The map also records smaller water bodies like Little Wadleigh Pond and Pine Pond, situated amidst the undulating contours of this undeveloped region.
