About this map

Nollesemic Lake sits at the heart of this Penobscot County landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of waterways and wetlands. The terrain is defined by the flow of Nollesemic Stream and the vast Quakish Bog to the northwest, while East Branch Lake and Mattamiscontis Lake anchor the southern reaches. These water bodies are connected by numerous smaller drainages including Comstock Brook, Mud Brook, and the distinctive Miner-Brook-Bog in the northeast corner.

Industrial and recreational access to this timber-heavy region is shown through a series of specialized routes like Nollesemic Rd, Rockabema Rd, and Moose Ridge Rd. The presence of Grand Falls along the northern drainage suggests the elevation changes that drive the local hydrography. For researchers and local historians, the map documents a largely natural landscape where land use is dictated by the bogs and basins of the Maine interior.
