2010 Map of Ampersand Lake

About this map

Ampersand Lake and its neighboring White Lily Pond sit at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness, surrounded by the formidable peaks of the Ampersand Mountains and the Seward Mountains. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Ampersand Brook and Ward Brook navigate narrow valleys between major summits like Mount Emmons and Seymour Mountain. The presence of Ouluska Pass suggests a natural corridor through the high peaks, an area dominated by topographic relief rather than human settlement. This modern 2010 survey reflects a strictly preserved natural state, with no roads or buildings indicated, emphasizing the area's role as a protected watershed for the Cold River and its various tributaries such as Seward Brook and Calkins Brook.
