About this map

Mattamiscontis Mtn and its lower peaks dominate the interior of this Penobscot County landscape, defining a network of drainages and glacial lakes in the late 1980s. The remote character of the region is punctuated by the Mattamiscontis Club Camp near the northern shore of Mattamiscontis Lake, suggesting the area's long-standing use for wilderness recreation and seasonal sporting.

Hydrological patterns are well-defined by the South Branch Lake to the south, featuring islands like Black Cat Island and Dutch Island. The inclusion of family-named watercourses such as Johnny Ayers Brook and Sam Ayers Stream provides valuable data for those tracing local land use or genealogical ties to this part of the Maine woods. This map captures the topography of Seboeis Plt and neighboring townships shortly before modern digital mapping became the standard.
