About this map

Chamberlain Lake dominates this north-central Maine wilderness, illustrating the complex hydrography and logging history of Piscataquis County. This 2021 study documents a critical portage area where Carry Brook links the expansive Mud Pond to the surrounding lake systems, including Umbazooksus Lake to the southwest. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands like Carry Bog and several smaller water bodies such as Lost Pond and Leadbetter Pond.

A network of specialized thoroughfares, including Winter Rd, Longley Stream Rd, and Harvester Rd, suggests the ongoing importance of the timber industry and backcountry access. Along the northern shoreline, Donnely Point projects into the lake near the mouth of Lost Brook, marking a landscape where water and forest remain the primary features. This survey serves as a precise modern baseline for researchers tracking the hydrology and land-use patterns of the Maine North Woods.
