2021 Map of Clifford Lake

About this map

Clifford Lake serves as the central focal point of this Washington County interior, where complex glacial hydrology forms a network of interconnected waterways and ridges. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, specifically Harmon Mtn and Grey Mtn, which overlook a series of smaller basins such as Hosea Pug Lake and Possum Lake. Navigation through this timber-rich region is facilitated by the historic Stud Mill Rd, a prominent corridor that intersects the landscape alongside Clifford Lake Rd. The map illustrates a dense concentration of brooks and streams, including Little Wakamatoque Stream and Clifford Stream, which drain into larger bodies like the West Arm and North Beaverdam Lake. This 2021 survey provides a look at the modern conservation of these vital Maine water resources and the topography that shapes their flow.
