1988 Map of Caribou Lake North

About this map

Chesuncook Lake and Caribou Lake dominate this North Maine Woods landscape, joined at a narrow strait defined by Weymouth Point and Sandy Point. This 1980s survey illustrates a region shaped by timber management and remote recreation, marked by the long-standing Monument Line that bisects the townships. The map details the intricate network of water bodies that feed these large lakes, including Mud Pond and the smaller Little Mud Pond to the east. Seasonal use of the shoreline is evidenced by primitive locations like Sandy Point Campsite, Mauser Island Campsite, and Cardesa Point Campsite. Numerous drainage features like Quaker Brook, Fourmile Brook, and Red Brook carve through the townships of T 4 R 13 W E L S and T 4 R 12 W E L S, highlighting the hydraulic complexity of the Piscataquis County backcountry.
