2018 Map of Fletcher Peak

About this map

Fifth Machias Lake and a series of interconnected glacial waters dominate this interior Washington County landscape. The area is characterized by a complex network of brooks and ridges, where Washington Bald Mtn and Farm Cove Mtn rise above the surrounding wetlands. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its hydrography, with numerous islands like Prune Island and Big Ship Island dotting the larger lakes. The only major road through this timberland is Stud Mill Rd, which crosses the Hancock and Washington county line. The naming of features such as Slewgundy Ridge and Fletcher Field reflects the local nomenclature of the Maine woods, while drainage patterns from Mutton Cove Brook and Hadley Brook illustrate the region's natural watershed boundaries.
