About this map

Molunkus Lake and the settlement of Macwahoc anchor this interior Aroostook County landscape, defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and flowing streams. The central basin is dominated by the lake's irregular shoreline, fed by Fowler Brook and Threemile Brook, while the southeastern corner reveals the confluence of Molunkus Stream and Macwahoc Stream.

Transport through this timber-rich region follows the contours of the water, with Aroostook St and Molunkus Rd providing access to the southern shore. Farther north, the landscape becomes increasingly remote, marked only by secluded water bodies like Haywire Pond and Lost Pond. This survey reflects a modern era of land management where recreational roads like Swimming Hole Rd intermingle with the traditional drainage patterns that have long shaped local industry and geography.
