1988 Map of Endless Lake

About this map

Endless Lake dominates this central Maine landscape, characterized by its complex shoreline and island features like Big Island and Blueberry Island. This 1980s topographic survey captures a wilderness region at the border of Piscataquis and Penobscot Counties, where the economy is tied to the natural water systems and timberlands of Lakeview and Seboeis Plantations. The map reveals a highly aqueous terrain defined by extensive wetlands, most notably the massive One Thousand Acre Bog in the southwest and the smaller Caribou Bog to the east. The West Branch Seboeis Stream and Roaring Brook drain this labyrinth of ponds and "deadwaters," while industrial activity is represented by Sand and Gravel extraction near the stream banks. Navigational points such as Dudley Rips and Deadman Cove provide specific landmarks for those tracing historical land use in these remote townships.
