About this map

Winterville Plantation serves as the focal point for this 1980s landscape in Northern Maine, where the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks trace the eastern shore of St Froid Lake. Small settlement clusters like Quimby (Winterville Sta) and McNally suggest a community historically tied to the timber and transit routes of the North Woods. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, including Pennington Mountain and Hedgehog Mountain, which dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle.

Hydrological features such as the Fish River and Pennington Brook weave through the forest, connecting smaller water bodies like Nadeau Pond and Pennington Pond. The presence of a Boat Ramp and Campground on the lake's edge indicates the area's transition into a recreational destination during the late twentieth century, while the outlying Gravel Pit reflects the local industrial needs of the era.
