2011 Map of Duck Lake

About this map

Duck Lake and the interconnected waterways of the Downeast interior define this landscape in the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a complex hydrographic network, where Chain Stream links the Upper Chain Lake, Middle Chain Lake, and Lower Chain Lake. Evidence of the region's logging and sporting heritage is found at remote outposts like Number Six Camp and Number Two Camp, accessed by primitive routes such as Wabassus Rd. To the northeast, the expansive Sysladobsis Lake contains several named landforms, including Pine Island and Birch Island. The southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the Machias River watershed via Unknown Stream and its namesake chain of lakes, including Upper Unknown Lake and Lower Unknown Lake, eventually reaching the shores of Fourth Machias Lake.
