About this map

Lobster Mtn and the neighboring Little Spencer Mtn dominate this remote northern landscape in Piscataquis County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and significant bodies of water, including the expansive Lobster Lake with its distinctively shaped Big Island and Marion Island. A complex network of logging and access roads, such as Halfway Rd and Ross Farm Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through the heavily forested township.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, from the northern reach of Moosehead Lake at Northeast Cove to the secluded Spencer Pond and Tom Young Pond. The map shows several specific points of interest along the water's edge, including Ogden Point, Sunset Point, and Spaulding Point. These landmarks, along with the various brooks like Norcross Brook and Kidney Brook, illustrate the drainage patterns of this high-country wilderness as it existed in the early 21st century.
