2011 Map of Deasey Mountain

About this map

The East Branch Penobscot River carves a deep path through this Penobscot County landscape, joined by major tributaries like the Wassataquoik Stream and Seboeis River. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Hathorn Mountain, Lunksoos Mountain, and Deasey Mountain, the latter of which features the Deasey Mountain Lookout Tower as a sentinel over the surrounding forest. This 2011 survey documents a wilderness area largely shaped by its hydrology, where significant drops in elevation are marked by Orin Falls and Gilman Falls. Smaller water bodies such as Lunksoos Lake, Little Hathorn Pond, and Deasey Ponds are scattered throughout the highlands, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Little Spring Brook Mountain and Hunt Mountain ranges. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the remote, preserved nature of this northern Maine interior.
