About this map

The rugged interior of Penobscot and Hancock counties is defined by a vast network of interconnected waterways and high ridges. Significant water bodies like Bottle Lake, Keg Lake, and the expansive Sysladobsis Lake dominate the low-lying basins, while elevations rise sharply at Almanac Mtn and Bear Mountain. The settlement of South Springfield sits at the northern edge, serving as a gateway to the dense forests of Lakeville and Carrol Plantation.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated along the shorelines and higher ground, marked by a Lookout Tower on Almanac Mtn and a Relay Tower nearby. The landscape reflects a mix of recreational and industrial use, with various campsites found on Bottle Island and near Boyce Cove, alongside a scattered Gravel Pit. Notable terrain features such as Long Point and The Frog delineate the complex shorelines of Junior Lake and Horseshoe Lake.
