About this map

Caribou Lake and the southeastern reaches of Chesuncook Lake dominate this Piscataquis County landscape, a region defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber access routes. The hydrology here is exceptionally dense, featuring major basins such as Ragged Lake and smaller, isolated bodies like Big Fisher Pond and Cow Pond. These lakes are connected by a web of named drainages including Ragged Stream, Bear Brook, and Gulliver Brook, which illustrate the natural flow toward the larger reservoirs.

Industrial and recreational access is represented by a series of gravel and unimproved roads, most notably Spencer Mountain Rd and Bucknell Rd. These routes provide the primary skeleton for navigating the timberlands between Bear Pond and the high ground above Otter Brook. This 2018 survey captures the modern state of these working forests, preserving the names of the varied ponds and brooks that have long served as landmarks for woodsmen and outdoorsmen in the Maine North Woods.
