2024 Map of Fifth Musquacook Lake

About this map

Fifth Musquacook Lake and Fourth Musquacook Lake anchor this remote section of the Maine North Woods, where the boundary between Aroostook Co and Piscataquis Co cuts across the timberlands. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring isolated water bodies like Mountain Pond, Lost Pond, and Clear Lake. Transportation in this unsettled region is limited to industrial corridors such as Realty Rd and Jack Mtn Rd, reflecting the modern timber management of the territory. High points including Hudson Mtn and Elbow Mtn rise between the drainages of Rocky Brook and Mule Brook, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Mule Brook Mountains and the Rocky Brook Mountains. This map captures a strictly natural and commercial forest environment, where the absence of established towns highlights the area's role as a working wilderness.
