About this map

Wesley serves as the central settlement point in this Washington County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial terrain. The hydrologic pattern is dominated by a sequence of lakes and brooks, including the notable First Chain Lake and Third Chain Lake, which are connected by Chain Lake Stream. Water management is evident at the Chain Lake Dam, a site of interest for those studying local industry and engineering history.

Upland features such as Day Hill and the Sam Hill Barrens break the low-lying wetlands, while smaller settlements like The Pines and landmarks such as Longfellow Pitch offer specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The mapping of numerous minor tributaries, such as Honeymoon Brook, Dudley Brook, and Joe Hill Brook, provides a detailed look at the drainage systems that shaped the settlement and movement patterns of this Maine interior during the early 21st century.
