About this map

Chesuncook sits as a lonely outpost on a peninsula within the expansive waters of Chesuncook Lake in this late-twentieth-century study of the Maine woods. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, where the West Branch of the Penobscot River meets the lake alongside Pine Stream. This area highlights the transition from industrial timber land to protected space, notably featuring the Gero Island State Reserve Land to the east. The geography is characterized by intricate shorelines and family-named or descriptive landmarks like Graveyard Point and Brandy Pond. Several Gravel Pits are the only signs of extractive activity in an otherwise remote wilderness of marshes and woods. The map preserves the township boundaries of the West Branch of the Penobscot River (W.E.L.S.), reflecting the historical organization of these unincorporated territories.
