2018 Map of Caribou Lake North

About this map

Chesuncook Lake and Caribou Lake dominate this northern Maine landscape, their waters meeting at a narrow strait defined by Sandy Point and Weymouth Point. This 2018 survey reveals a remote, water-defined region where transportation is dictated by the shoreline and a network of logging roads. Named points and inlets suggest a history of navigation and seasonal encampment, while the presence of Old Hewcook Tolt Rd and Rip Rd indicates the area's continued use for timber management and backcountry access. Significant wetlands surround Mud Pond and Ripogenus Pond, connected by small tributaries like W Br Ripogenus Stream and Mud Brook. The lack of dense settlement emphasizes the wilderness character of Piscataquis County, where local landmarks are found in the terrain itself, such as Caribou Point at the southern bend of the lakeshore.
