2011 Map of Mattamiscontis Mountain

About this map

Mattamiscontis Mountain and its smaller counterpart, Little Mattamiscontis Mountain, dominate the center of this Maine interior landscape. The region is defined by an extensive freshwater network, where Mattamiscontis Lake and the northern reaches of South Branch Lake provide significant aquatic coverage. Notable landforms such as Miller Ridge, Hazeltine Ridge, and Whitney Ridge suggest a terrain shaped by glacial activity, while the presence of Cranberry Island and Birch Island within the larger lakes points to established landmarks for navigators. Named water features like Sam Ayers Stream and Johnny Ayers Brook reflect the importance of small-scale hydrology in this part of Penobscot County. Transportation is minimal, limited to corridors such as E Branch Rd and Maine Rd, emphasizing the area's character as a managed timber or conservation territory at the start of the 2010s.
