Wassataquoik Stream

Wassataquoik Stream

“We were glad to embark once more, and leave some of the Mosquitoes behind. We had passed the Wassataquoik without perceiving it. This, according to the Indian, is the name of the Main E. Branch itself, and not properly applied to this small tributary alone, as on the maps. We found that we have camped about a mile above Hunt's, which is on the east bank-and is the last house for those who ascend Ktadn on this side.”

—Henry David Thoreau, “1857 Allegash and East Branch”, The Maine Woods
