About this map

Nesowadnehunk Lake dominates this northern Maine landscape, its waters regulated by the Nesowadnehunk Dam at the southern outflow into Nesowadnehunk Stream. The area's character is defined by the high-elevation terrain of the Maine woods, where Camp Phoenix sits on the lake's eastern shore and the remote outpost of McCarty provides a human presence among the peaks. A network of waterways including North Branch Trout Brook, South Branch Trout Brook, and Dwelley Brook drain the surrounding mountains.

Prominent summits like Burnt Mountain, topped by the Burnt Mountain Lookout Tower, and Morse Mountain rise above the drainage basins. The map documents smaller water bodies such as Little Nesowadnehunk Lake, Thissell Pond, and the marshy Kennedy Bog to the north. This is a region shaped by forestry and recreational camp life, where topographic features like Strickland Mountain and Center Mountain overlook a complex system of brooks and ponds.
