2011 Map of Mattawamkeag Lake

About this map

Mattawamkeag Lake and its intricate network of connected waters dominate this portion of Aroostook County, Maine. The landscape is defined by the West Branch Mattawamkeag River flowing from Upper Mattawamkeag Lake through The Thorofare, creating a complex system of islands and points such as Norway Island and Mosquito Point. The presence of the Otter Lake Firetower on the southern slopes indicates the region's managed timber and conservation history, while named features like Bible Point and Hitching Post Point suggest established local landmarks along the eastern shore. Topographical highlights include Hurricane Ridge and Pettingill Ridge, which rise above the surrounding basin. This area remains largely defined by its natural water features, including Caribou Lake and the smaller Mud Pond, connected by seasonal brooks.
