About this map

Wesley Fire Tower stands as a prominent landmark over this portion of Washington County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and timberland boundaries. The township of Wesley serves as the central hub, situated near Day Hill and the small settlement at The Pines. This map documents a region heavily utilized for its natural resources and water access, evidenced by the presence of a Sand & Gravel Pit and a Boat Ramp on the eastern shore of First Chain Lake.

Waterways like Old Chain Lakes Stream and New Stream connect numerous water bodies, including Second Chain Lake, Seavey Lake, and Grover Lake. Local history and geography are preserved through family-named features such as Dudley Brook, Huntley Brook, and the curiously named Stinking Jam Rapids. The inclusion of the Longfellow Ditch and a small Cem near the main road provides valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these remote Maine townships.
