2014 Map of Mattawamkeag Lake

About this map

Mattawamkeag Lake and the West Branch Mattawamkeag River dominate this Aroostook County landscape, where water and ridge lines define the terrain. The central waterway system, including The Thorofare connecting to Upper Mattawamkeag Lake, is dotted with named islands and points such as Norway Island, Big Island, and Mosquito Point. The map provides a detailed view of the surrounding uplands, specifically Hurricane Ridge, Pettingill Ridge, and Tapley Ridge, which overlook smaller basins like Caribou Lake and Mud Lake. These features, along with curiously named landmarks like Hamiltons Mistake and Bible Point, indicate a region deeply tied to seasonal recreation and local lore. Infrastructure is limited to a few named rural routes such as Merriman Rd and Babcock Rd, reflecting the quiet, forested character of this northern Maine territory.
