About this map

Chase Lake and the surrounding woodlands of Piscataquis County appear here in a landscape dominated by interconnected waterways and sharp elevation changes. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally dense, featuring a series of glacial ponds including First Currier Pond, Second Currier Brook, and the larger Munsungan Lake. This network suggests a long history of seasonal timber harvesting and remote sporting access, particularly around Sewall Deadwater Pond and the cascading Thirtyfoot Falls.

Upland features such as Peaked Mtn and Ragged Mtn define the horizons, while a network of specialized routes like Pell and Pell Rd and Church Dam Rd provide access through the deep woods. The map captures a quintessential Maine wilderness character where water bodies like Echo Lake and Island Pond are separated by significant landforms like Echo Ridge, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Munsungan Stream watershed.
