2011 Map of Salmon Stream Lake

About this map

Salmon Stream Lake and its smaller counterpart, Little Salmon Stream Lake, dominate this northern Penobscot County landscape, illustrating a region defined by complex glacial drainage patterns. The interior is largely roadless, with the western corridor providing the primary access point along a route paralleling Salmon Stream. This area is characterized by slow-moving water and wetlands, evidenced by the presence of Wadleigh Deadwater and several meandering tributaries such as Wyman Brook and Hersey Brook. In the northeast corner, the drainage shifts toward Little Molunkus Stream near Flinn Pond. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources and timber, where the hydrography dictates the few points of human ingress and defines the local geography far more than any built infrastructure.
