2021 Map of Gassabias Lake

About this map

Gassabias Lake and a complex network of glacial waterways define this portion of the Maine north woods near the boundary of Hancock and Washington counties. This interior landscape is characterized by its significant elevation changes, from the prominent Sabao Mtn and Fifth Lake Mtn to the low-lying wetlands surrounding Gassabias Stream and Drag Brook. The map reveals a highly specialized road system, including the well-known Stud Mill Rd, which supports the regional timber economy. The density of industrial forest roads such as 37-00-0 Rd and 32-00-0 Rd illustrates how logging infrastructure has integrated into the natural topography. For those interested in inland Maine hydrology, the connections between Upper Sabao Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Burnt Land Lake provide a clear view of the drainage patterns essential to the local ecosystem.
