2018 Map of Big Brook Lake

About this map

Big Brook Lake and the surrounding North Maine Woods are defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber-access routes. The landscape is carved by steep drainages like Dead Horse Gulch and punctuated by high-elevation water bodies including Sag Pond and Petes Pond. Evidence of the area's specialized terrain and historical logging activity appears in local names like The Corduroys, likely referring to corduroy roads once used to traverse marshy ground. Transportation in this remote Aroostook County township is limited to unpaved arteries such as Rocky Brook Rd and Twenty Mile Brook Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. These roads provide the primary access to the numerous tributaries feeding the larger watershed, including McKeen Brook and Five Finger Brook.
