2018 Map of Peaked Mountain

About this map

Lower Cranberry Lake and the interconnected waters of the Mopang chain define this corner of Washington County, Maine. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of glacial features, where prominent elevations like Cranberry Mtn and Peaked Mtn rise above extensive wetlands and drainages. The West Branch Machias River flows through the northern reaches, while the Crooked River and Mopang Stream negotiate the low-lying basins between ridges. A few numbered logging roads, such as 31-00-0 RD, provide the only terrestrial access through this heavily forested area. The map illustrates a contemporary wilderness managed for timber and conservation, centered on the Mopang Lake system and several smaller basins including Peep Lake and Lily Lake. The county boundary between Hancock and Washington is clearly demarcated, cutting across the western edge near Cranberry Lake Ridge.
