2018 Map of Brassua Lake West

About this map

Brassua sits along the southern shoreline of Little Brassua Lake in this 2018 survey of Somerset County, Maine. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Moose River, where numerous streams like Brassua Stream and Tom Fletcher Stream converge into the lake system. High ground at Black Brook Hill overlooks the eastern waters near Black Point, providing a distinct contrast to the wetland areas of Fivemile Bog in the southwest. This map documents a remote timber and water landscape, showing the distribution of smaller water bodies such as Demo Pond, Roderique Pond, and Leith Pond. A network of unpaved forest roads, including New Stony Brook Rd and Twelve Mile Bog Rd, suggests the area's continued use for resource management and backcountry access in the early 21st century.
