2018 Map of Cuxabexis Lake

About this map

Cuxabexis Lake and the northeastern reaches of Chesuncook Lake dominate this Piscataquis County landscape, where the Maine woods are defined by a network of remote logging roads and waterways. The map illustrates a transitional hydrologic zone where Cuxabexis Stream flows between bodies of water, and smaller catchments like Duck Pond and Logan Bog break up the forested interior. Transportation here is strictly utilitarian, marked by gravel paths such as Duck Pond Rd and Red Brook Rd that navigate the varied terrain between Gero Island and the mainland. In the southern portion of the sheet, drainage is defined by Red Brook and the W Br Red Brook, showing the natural flow toward the larger lake system. This topographic study reflects the modern managed wilderness, where the infrastructure of the timber industry meets the enduring geography of the North Maine Woods.
