2014 Map of Brewer Lake

About this map

The Penobscot and Hancock county line bisects this landscape, running through a dense network of glacial lakes and granite ridges south of East Holden. The interior is defined by significant water bodies such as Brewer Lake, Long Pond, and Thurston Pond, which are fed by numerous small waterways including Copeland Brook and Moosehorn Stream. Settlement is concentrated at historical junctions like East Bucksport, Dedham, and Winkumpaugh Corners, while many family names are preserved on the terrain, such as Rider Bluff, Orcutt Mtn, and Peaked Mtn. The region's history is further anchored by several small burial grounds, including Copeland Hill Cem and Granite Cem. The road network, including Strickland Ridge Rd and Bald Mountain Rd, traces the elevation changes around Blood Mtn and Cancer Hill, reflecting a layout dictated by the complex local topography.
