2018 Map of Rainbow Lake East

About this map

The West Branch Penobscot River cuts through this portion of Piscataquis County, defined by its series of significant river features like Little Ambejackmockamus Falls and Big Ambejackmockamus Falls. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial water bodies, including Rainbow Lake and the sequential series of Second Debsconeag Lake, Fourth Debsconeag Lake, and Fifth Debsconeag Lake. This wilderness area is traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which winds past Rainbow Mtn and Daisey Pond. The map illustrates a region where transportation is limited to rugged paths and the remote Hurd Pond Rd, emphasizing the area's role as a high-elevation recreational and conservation corridor. Notable terrain features like Sentinel Mtn provide the backdrop for numerous smaller ponds such as Clifford Pond and Stink Pond.
