2024 Map of North East Carry

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates this northern Maine landscape, where the historical portage at North East Carry connects the great lake toward the West Branch of the Penobscot River. The terrain is defined by dramatic water boundaries and timberlands, including the distinctive peninsula known as the Toe of the Boot and the elevations of Eagle Mtn and Norcross Mtn to the east. The map preserves the path of the Old Middlesex Rd, a route reflecting the area's legacy as a gateway for nineteenth-century sporting and logging. Small island features like Center Island and Seboomook Island are plotted within the expansive waters, while the settlement at Ogontz and various coves such as Bigney Cove and Northeast Cove highlight the irregular shoreline that has long guided travelers through the Maine North Woods.
