1989 Map of Mattawamkeag Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Mattawamkeag Lake dominates this northern landscape, its shoreline defined by deep coves and numerous islands in the late 1980s. The West Branch Mattawamkeag River flows into the lake through The Thorofare, connecting it to Upper Mattawamkeag Lake. The surrounding terrain within Island Falls and various township tracts is marked by prominent elevations like Pettingill Ridge and Tapley Ridge, which separate the primary lake basin from smaller satellite waters including Caribou Lake and Otter Lake. Local heritage is reflected in distinctive place names such as Bible Point on the riverbank and the curiously named Hamiltons Mistake near The Pocket. The survey illustrates a complex network of waterways and wetlands, such as Bush Bog, typical of the Aroostook County interior before modern development intensified.
