About this map

Nollesemic Lake sits at the center of this Maine backcountry landscape, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and feeder streams. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its water systems, including the sprawling Quakish Bog to the north and the northern reaches of Mattamiscontis Lake and East Branch Lake at the southern edge. The presence of Grand Falls on the northern border indicates the significant drop in elevation as water moves through this drainage basin.

Logging and backcountry access routes like Nollesemic Rd and Rockabema Rd weave through the timberland, providing the primary infrastructure for this sparsely populated portion of Penobscot County. The map is particularly detailed in its depiction of boggy terrain, naming localized features such as Miner Brook Bog and various named waterways like Sam Ayers Stream and Widden Brook, which are essential references for land management and recreational navigation in the area.
