About this map

Brassua Lake and the western reaches of Moosehead Lake dominate this landscape in the Maine North Woods, where water systems and logging roads define the geography. The flow of the Moose River connects these large bodies of water, regulated by the Brassua Dam. This 2011 survey shows a transition between the expansive waters of Brassua Lake and the intricate shoreline of Moosehead, featuring landmarks like Farm Island and Hardscrabble Point.

Cultural indicators are sparse but significant, notably Saint Josephs Cemetery located near the intersection of Lakeshore Rd and Ridge Rd. The map documents a network of private and logging roads, including 20 Mile Rd and Maynard Rd, which provide access to remote points like Tomhegan Point and Baker Brook Point. To the south, the West Outlet leads toward Long Pond, illustrating the complex drainage of the Somerset County wilderness.
