About this map

The international border between Maine and Canada bisects this remote watershed, where the northernmost reaches of Somerset County meet the Quebec frontier. This 2014 survey reveals an intricate network of alpine lakes and interconnected waterways, dominated by the sprawling Penobscot Lake at its center. This high-country basin feeds numerous streams, including Deadwater Brook and Penobscot Brook, which drain the complex topography.

Remote access is marked by several historical timber or land-management routes such as Old Cheney Rd and Pole Pond Rd. The landscape is dotted with smaller, secluded water bodies like Mary Petuche Pond, Lizzies Bog, and White Deer Pond, highlighting a territory defined more by its hydrography than by permanent settlement. This map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns and shorelines that have long defined the Maine-Quebec borderlands.
