About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates this terrain where the Somerset Co and Piscataquis Co lines meet in the Maine wilderness. The settlement of Moosehead sits near the East Outlet, a critical juncture in the region's hydrography where waters transition from the main lake toward the Kennebec drainage. This 2014 survey documents a landscape of high-elevation peaks and complex island systems, including the large Sugar Island and Lambert Island to the east.

Southward, the topography rises sharply toward the summit of Big Moose Mtn, where modern infrastructure is represented by Ski Resort Rd. The presence of smaller water bodies like Burnham Pond and Mountain View Pond illustrates the diverse aquatic environments surrounding the primary lake. Transportation is centered on Rockwood Rd, which provides the primary access through these timberlands and lakeside camps, while routes like Masterman Farm Rd hint at the historic agricultural or recreational footprints on the land.
