About this map

Scraggly Lake and the towering peak of Snowshoe Mtn anchor this North Woods landscape in Penobscot County, Maine. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways and logging roads that reflect the area's timber-driven character, including the historic Matagamon Tote Rd and Godfrey Rd. The hydrological system is particularly intricate here, as Sawtelle Brook winds through numerous wetlands before reaching the Seboeis River near the eastern margin.

Elevated landmarks like Owls Head and Hay Mtn rise above significant water bodies such as Hay Lake and Mud Pond. Of particular interest to those studying the river's descent are the named drops and rapids, including Sawtelle Falls, Godfrey Pitch, and Grand Pitch. These features, alongside specialized infrastructure like Snowshoe Lake Rd and Huber Rd, suggest a region managed for both its natural resources and its watershed value.
