2021 Map of Nesowadnehunk Lake

About this map

Nesowadnehunk Lake dominates the central landscape of this Piscataquis County quadrangle, situated within a high-elevation drainage basin defined by prominent peaks. The settlement at McCarty marks a historic point of human presence amidst the complex network of brooks and bogs, including Kennedy Bog and the Black Spruce Bog. Significant topographic features rise sharply from the valley floor, most notably Strickland Mtn, McCarty Mtn, and Center Mtn. The transport network relies on primitive corridors such as Park Tote Rd and Perimeter Rd, which follow the contours of the terrain to connect isolated points. Hydrological patterns are defined by the Nesowadnehunk Stream and numerous alpine water bodies like Dwelley Pond and Thissell Pond, reflecting a wilderness character shaped by glacial geography and the headwaters of the North Maine Woods.
