2024 Map of Big Brook Lake

About this map

Big Brook Lake sits at the heart of this remote interior landscape in Northern Maine, where a complex network of waterways and logging corridors defines the terrain. The presence of The Corduroys, a distinctive topographic feature, suggests the historical challenges of navigating these wetlands and low-lying drainages. Water moves through this area via several notable channels including Five Finger Brook, McKeen Brook, and the namesake Big Brook. Small, isolated bodies of water like Petes Pond and Sag Pond dot the higher elevations between ridges. Access to this timber-heavy region is maintained through a series of long-established thoroughfares such as Twenty Mile Brook Rd and Rocky Brook Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys. The evocative naming of Dead Horse Gulch in the north hints at the arduous history of frontier travel and forestry operations that have long shaped this part of Aroostook County.
