2011 Map of Round Mountain

About this map

Round Mountain and the surrounding high peaks of northern Maine define this interior landscape, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including Peaked Mountain, Spectacle Mountain, and Middle Mountain, which divide the region's complex drainage network. A dense system of water bodies is scattered throughout the township, from the larger Rowe Lake in the north to smaller, sequestered basins like Leonard Pond and Lost Pond. Numerous brooks, such as Chase Brook and Lovejoy Brook, navigate the spaces between the ridges, illustrating the natural water shed patterns of this undeveloped timberland. The map reveals a place where geography is dictated by these natural landmarks rather than human settlement, preserving the character of the Maine woods as a network of ridges, ponds, and interconnected waterways.
