About this map

Meddybemps Lake and its intricate western shoreline define this portion of Washington County, where a complex network of glacial waterways and wetlands characterizes the landscape. Small settlements like Alexander and Cedar are linked by a web of local roads such as Cooper Rd and Green Hill Rd, reflecting the area's rural development. To the east, the vast expanse of Meddybemps Heath contrasts with the elevation of Staples Mountain and Pineo Mountain.

The presence of the Pleasant Lake Dam and the Pleasant Lake Campground indicates the intersection of resource management and recreation in the early 21st century. Water systems are particularly dense here, with Wapsaconhagan Brook, Sixteenth Stream, and Dead Stream feeding into the larger lake basins. Notable landmarks like Big Island and Fowler Point provide specific geographic orientation for those studying the lake's topography and its surrounding shoreline features.
