2014 Map of Caribou Lake South

About this map

Caribou Lake and the northwestern reaches of Chesuncook Lake dominate this Maine North Woods landscape, where industrial logging infrastructure intersects a complex network of glacial waterways. The presence of the Golden Rd and Sias Hill Rd highlights the vital role of private hauling routes in accessing this timber-rich interior of Piscataquis County. These unpaved arteries provide the primary modern connection between remote water bodies like Ragged Lake and Big Fisher Pond. The drainage patterns, defined by smaller tributaries such as Ragged Stream and Gulliver Brook, illustrate the challenging terrain that shaped the region's historical logging operations. Collectors and outdoor researchers can trace the routes used to move timber from the highlands surrounding Bear Pond and Otter Pond toward the larger lakes for transport.
