2018 Map of Brewer Lake

About this map

Brewer Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the northern landscape, where Nickerson Island, King Island, and Bowden Island are prominent features within the water. This modern topography reveals a transition between Brewer in the northwest and Ellsworth in the southeast, characterized by a series of north-south oriented ridges and valleys. Several small burial grounds, such as Copeland Hill Cem and Granite Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable locations for genealogists. The southern portion of the map includes the rural crossroads of Winkumpaugh Corners and North Orland, while aviation is marked by the small Philbrick Mountain Airport. The drainage patterns of Eaton Brook, Dane Brook, and Moosehorn Stream illustrate the complex hydrography of the region, connecting various ponds like Long Pond and Saulter Pond across the rugged terrain of the Penobscot and Hancock county line.
