2011 Map of Harrington Lake

About this map

Chesuncook Lake and the West Branch Penobscot River dominate this interior landscape, illustrating a region defined by industrial water management and logging access. The presence of multiple barriers, including Chesuncook Dam, Ripogenus Dam, and the smaller Harrington Lake Dam, speaks to the engineering required to harness the region's vast hydrographic network. Further north, Soubunge Mountain rises above a series of drainages like Ripogenus Stream and Soper Brook. Local infrastructure is represented by the Lily Bay Rd and Telos Rd, providing access to remote points such as the Frost Pond Campground. The transition from the broad waters of Harrington Lake to the narrow, steep descent of Ripogenus Gorge highlights the significant elevation changes that shaped early river-driving and later power generation in this part of Piscataquis County.
