2021 Map of First Musquacook Lake

About this map

First Musquacook Lake and Second Musquacook Lake anchor this remote Aroostook County wilderness, connected by the winding Musquacook Stream. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a landscape defined by water and logging access, where the drainage network flows through narrow passages like Horse Race Rapids and Lower Horse Race Rapids. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Shepherd Brook Mtn, which towers over the numerous isolated water bodies including Twin Pond, Eyelet Pond, and Robbins Brook Pond. A web of private forest roads like Realty Rd, Blanchette Rd, and Sunset Strip provides the only terrestrial access to these deep woods. Distinctive local landmarks like Porters Spring and the curiously named Squirrel Pocket reflect the specialized local nomenclature of the Maine North Woods.
