2021 Map of Lookout Mountain

About this map

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument dominates this northern Maine landscape, protecting a vast area of forests and waterways centered around Lookout Mtn. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the East Branch Penobscot River and the winding Seboeis River, which join other significant drainages like the Wassataquoik Stream. This area's heritage as a timber-producing region is evidenced by the prominent Sherman Lumber Rd cutting through the forest, connecting the wilderness to the settlement of Stacyville in the south. Interior access is limited to a few named routes such as Lunksoos Rd and Happy Corner Rd, which navigate the space between several remote water bodies including Potter Pond and Wiley Pond. The map captures a moment in the modern management of these traditional North Woods lands.
