2014 Map of Hay Brook Mountain

About this map

Hay Brook Mountain and Roberts Mtn dominate this Penobscot County landscape, defining a region where water and timber routes have long shaped human activity. The Seboeis River winds through the central terrain, punctuated by features like Tiger Rips and Godfrey Pitch, which denote the challenging river hydraulics of the Maine woods. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of traditional transport corridors such as the Matagamon Tote Rd and Grand Lake Rd, which provide access to remote water bodies including White Horse Lake, Snowshoe Lake, and Hot Pond. To the south, Shin Falls marks a significant drop on Shin Brook before it reaches Upper Shin Pond. The map reveals a land utilized primarily for its natural resources and seasonal transit, with names like Horseback Pond and Crommett Brook reflecting the local nomenclature of the northern wilderness.
