About this map

Gassabias Lake and a complex network of waterways define this portion of Washington County, Maine. The landscape is characterized by a high density of interconnected lakes and streams, reflecting the glacial history of the Down East region. Significant bodies of water like Upper Sabao Lake, Lower Sabao Lake, and Fourth Machias Lake are linked by drainage systems such as Fifth Lake Stream and Gassabias Stream.

Evidence of historical water management and topographic navigation is found at Knight Dam and along prominent elevations like Sabao Mountain and Woodchopping Ridge. The presence of features such as Burnt Land Lake and Horseshoe Lake suggests a varied terrain of wetlands and ridges typical of the Maine interior. This map provides a detailed view of the hydrology and natural landmarks used for orientation and resource management in this unorganized territory.
