Mattawamkeag Lake dominates this northern Maine landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by dozens of points, coves, and islands that have likely served as landmarks for generations of woodsmen and travelers. The West Branch Mattawamkeag River flows through the northern reaches, connected to the main body of water by The Thorofare. The map reveals a naming tradition rooted in local history and lore, with evocatively named features such as Hamiltons Mistake and Devils Wall alongside family-named landmarks like Pettingill Ridge and Tapley Ridge.
