2024 Map of Gassabias Lake

About this map

Gassabias Lake and a dense network of timber-access roads define this landscape along the border of Hancock and Washington counties. This remote interior region is characterized by significant topographic relief, with Sabao Mtn and Fifth Lake Mtn rising above a series of interconnected water bodies. The presence of Stud Mill Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the area's ongoing role in Maine’s working forest economy. Historical drainage patterns are clearly visible through the winding courses of Gassabias Stream and Fifth Lake Stream, which link larger bodies like Upper Sabao Lake and Lower Sabao Lake. Small, isolated features like Pughole Pond and Horseshoe Lake are tucked into the valleys between Woodchopping Ridge and Horseshoe Mtn, offering a detailed view of the North Woods hydrography.
