About this map

Rockwood sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, marking a transition between the expansive waters of Moosehead Lake and the interior timberlands. This 2021 survey details the complex shoreline of the Maine North Woods, where Tomhegan Cove and Baker Brook Cove provide deep inlets into the forest. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Blue Ridge and Poplar Hill, overlooking the secluded waters of Little Brassua Lake and Long Pond.

Remote roads and logging tracks, such as Pittston Farm Rd and Tomhegan Rd, trace the paths once used for industrial access, connecting the shoreline to interior landmarks like Avery Field. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Saint Josephs Cem near the junction of Maynard Rd and Ridge Rd, a quiet record of the community established on these shores. The map also captures numerous islands, including Farm Island and Spinney Island, which dot the northern reaches of the lake system.
