About this map

Rockwood sits at the eastern edge of this Maine wilderness where the waters of Brassua Lake meet Moosehead Lake. The landscape is defined by its significant conservation tracts, including the Tomhegan Game Sanctuary and the State Game Refuge on Farm Island. Waterways dominate the geography, from the complex shoreline of Tomhegan Cove to the southern reach of Long Pond.

A Masonry Dam at Pages Point indicates the managed water levels of the region, while the Blue Ridge provides a prominent upland landmark. This 1980s survey captures the area's transition between massive lake bodies, marked by specific points like Hardscrabble Point and Baker Brook Point. The map also delineates the precise township boundaries and strips, such as the Rockwood Strip and Taunton and Raynham, which are essential for understanding local land ownership and historical logging divisions.
