2024 Map of Big Spencer Mountain

About this map

Big Spencer Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this Piscataquis County quadrangle, rising above a network of remote waters and timberlands. The terrain is defined by its massive peaks and expansive glacial lakes, including the jagged eastern shoreline of Lobster Lake and its distinctive northern cove, Big Claw. This area of the Maine North Woods remains largely wild, with access provided by primitive routes such as Greenville Rd and Loop Rd. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Maxfield Brook and Kidney Brook winding through the lowlands between Black Cap Mtn and the numerous smaller water bodies like Blood Pond and Grass Pond. For those studying the geography of northern Maine, the map provides a clear record of the watershed and the topographic isolation of these prominent summits.
