About this map

Grand Lake Seboeis and its complex network of inlets and coves dominate this landscape in Penobscot County, where the wilderness geography of Maine is defined by a dense system of glacial lakes and mountain ridges. The large lake body is segmented by features such as Coombs Cove and Boody Cove, while the restricted passage at The Narrows separates the main water from its southern reaches. To the east and south, the terrain rises into the Cunningham Mountains and Wadleigh Mtn, creating a high-relief boundary for the basin.

Logging and backcountry access routes like Snowshoe Rd and Soule Ridge Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the timberlands. Along the western edge, smaller bodies of water such as Sawtelle Pond and Manton Pond are fed by numerous streams including W Br Sawtelle Brook. This modern survey records the continued importance of water management and topography in the North Maine Woods, capturing the exact profile of the shoreline at Pickerel Point and the quiet drainage of Lower Deadwater.
