2018 Map of Penobscot Lake

About this map

The international border between the United States of America and Canada defines the western edge of this Somerset County landscape. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, with Penobscot Lake serving as the central hydrological feature. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by drainage patterns feeding into Penobscot Brook and Little Penobscot Brook, alongside distinct wetlands such as Lizzies Bog. The map provides a precise view of the numerous remote ponds, including Big Grenier Pond, Dole Pond, and the curiously named Mary Petuche Pond. These features, connected by waterways like Deadwater Brook, illustrate the hydrological complexity of the Maine woods before the terrain descends toward Mud Brook in the southeast.
