About this map

Cedar Mountain rises as the central topographical anchor between the sprawling waters of Cedar Lake and the northern reaches of South Twin Lake. This landscape, documented in the late 1980s, reveals a network of industrial and recreational footprints within the unorganized territories of Penobscot and Piscataquis counties. The presence of Ingalls Siding and Old Long A Siding along the rail corridor highlights the area's history of timber transport and logistical support for the remote interior.

Lakeshore life is concentrated at Cedar Lake Camps and the small settlement of Perkins on the northern shore. The terrain is a complex drainage system of deadwaters and bogs, including the Grant Brook Deadwater and Libby Bog. Large land tracts like the Hopkins Academy Grant and Long A Twp define the legal boundaries of this timberland region, where narrow streams like Partridge Brook connect the numerous ponds and lakes.
