2014 Map of Katahdin Lake

About this map

Katahdin Lake and the dramatic peaks of the Turner Mountains dominate this portion of the Maine wilderness, where the boundary between Piscataquis and Penobscot counties cuts through the high ground. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with the Wassataquoik Stream and its various branches, including the South Branch, carving paths around North Turner Mountain and East Turner Mountain. For those researching local geography or recreational history, the map traces the Park Tote Rd as it winds south toward Windey Pitch. From the rapids at Orin Falls to the high-elevation Twin Ponds, the map documents a landscape defined by significant relief and a complex system of glacial ponds and mountain brooks, including Roaring Brook and Avalanche Brook.
