About this map

Millinocket Lake and Little Millinocket Lake dominate this portion of the North Maine Woods, connected by the narrow channel of The Thorofare. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and glacial landforms, with numerous smaller bodies of water like Atkins Pond and Jack Pond scattered between prominent elevations. Higher ground is found at Millinocket Ridge, Caribou Ridge, and South Ridge, which guide the flow of various tributaries including Caribou Brook and Chandler Brook.

A network of timber-access roads, including Pinkham Rd and Millinocket Lake Rd, underscores the region's historical and ongoing role in Maine's forestry industry. At the northern edge, Munsungan Lake feeds into Munsungan Stream near Munsungan Falls, illustrating the descent from the highlands toward the Aroostook watershed. The presence of Little Caribou Pond and Elsie Pond highlights the dense concentration of backcountry water features that define this remote section of Piscataquis County.
