2014 Map of Monroe Lake

About this map

Monroe Lake and Little Musquash Lake sit at the center of this remote section of Washington County, where a complex network of glacial lakes and interconnecting streams defines the landscape. The hydrography is dominated by the Machias River, which links First Machias Lake, Second Machias Lake, and the expansive Third Machias Lake. High ground is found at Wabassus Mtn and Getchel Mtn in the north, providing a stark contrast to the lower-lying Midland Flats. The presence of timber and utility access is indicated by Stud Mill Rd and Sugar Camp Rd, highlighting the managed forest character of this Maine interior. This 2014 survey documents the modern drainage patterns and naming conventions for the numerous brooks and ridges, such as Cherry Tree Ridge and Second Lake Ridge, that shape this northern watershed.
