2011 Map of Brassua Lake West

About this map

Brassua Lake dominates this portion of Somerset County, where the north and south branches of North Branch Brassua Stream and South Branch Brassua Stream converge into the main Brassua Stream. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous isolated water bodies like Leith Pond, Demo Pond, and Roderique Pond. The small settlement of Brassua sits near the southern edge of the lake, adjacent to the Moose River and the path of Old Station Rd. The presence of Demo Rd and various forest tracks indicates the ongoing importance of timber access and watershed management in this remote Maine township. Significant landmarks such as Black Brook Hill and the uniquely named Tenmile Swing provide topographic orientation for those navigating the wooded terrain surrounding Black Point.
