2018 Map of Cedar Lake

About this map

Perkins sits along the narrow passage between North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake, serving as a central point in this network of interconnected waterways. The landscape is defined by its significant "deadwater" sections, including Grant Brook Deadwater and Dean Brook Deadwater, where sluggish stream currents expand into wetland basins. These features, along with Rocky Bog and Libby Bog, indicate a terrain where water drainage is slow and complex, centered around the prominence of Cedar Mtn. The map traces the boundary between Piscataquis and Penobscot counties, cutting through a landscape of timber-access routes like Lincolnridge Rd and Cedar Lake Rd. From the islands of the Twin Lakes, such as Peanut Island and Little Birch Island, to the isolated waters of Flatiron Pond, the map details a region where logging roads and natural watercourses dictate the human footprint.
