2011 Map of Lily Bay

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates this survey of the Maine wilderness, where water and land interlock through a complex network of points, islands, and ridges. The settlement of Lily Bay sits on the eastern shore, serving as a gateway to the vast timberlands and recreation areas of Piscataquis County. To the south, the topography rises sharply at Burnt Jacket Mountain and along Scammon Ridge, providing a vertical contrast to the sprawling lowlands surrounding Prong Pond and Mud Pond. A network of unpaved tracks and trails, such as Virginia Trl and Hawksholm Trl, crisscrosses the shoreline, illustrating the region's historical reliance on seasonal access and woods roads. The map documents numerous named islands, including Sugar Island and Hyde Island, which have long been landmarks for navigation on New England’s largest lake.
