About this map

Big Lake dominates this portion of Washington County, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous islands and narrow passages such as Fox Passage. The settlement at Peter Dana Point serves as a focal point near the northeastern shore, accompanied by Saint Annes Cem and the residential stretch of The Pit Row. The surrounding landscape is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, including the broad Lambs Deadwater and the marshy expanse of Elijah Brown Heath.

Upland features like Amazon Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Big Musquash Stream and Grand Lake Stream. The map reveals a land defined by its water, where named points like Governors Point and Calligan Point segment the lake into distinct coves and bays. This geography suggests a long history of water-based navigation and seasonal land use, from the timber-rich shores of Campbell Shore to the secluded reaches of Musquash Bay.
