2011 Map of Big Moose Pond

About this map

Big Moose Mountain and its Lookout Tower dominate the northern terrain of this Piscataquis County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems, including Big Indian Pond, Big Moose Pond, and Trout Pond. This 2011 survey details the convergence of several major waterways, most notably the East Branch and West Branch Piscataquis River, which snake through the southern half of the quadrangle. A legacy of transportation and resource management is visible through labels such as the Railroad Bed Rd along the eastern edge and the Intake Pond near Little Moose Brook. Smaller basins like Little Notch Pond and Big Notch Pond sit tucked between the peaks, illustrating the complex glacial topography of the North Woods.
