About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates this northern Maine landscape, where the prominent peak of Mount Kineo rises sharply above the water. This 2014 survey captures the geographic complexity of the shoreline, defined by deep inlets like Cowan Cove and Harris Cove, and numerous landforms including Big Dry Point and Cowan Point. The map illustrates a remote wilderness managed through a network of local routes such as Rockwood Rd and Spencer Pond Rd.

The small settlement of Rockwood serves as a western anchor near the boundary between Somerset and Piscataquis counties. Significant island features are clustered in the southern waters, including Masterman Island and the narrow stretch of Sand Bar Island. To the north, the elevation continues to rise toward Little Kineo Mtn and Shaw Mtn, drained by small waterways like Beaver Brook and Lucky Brook that feed the massive lake basin.
