2011 Map of Sandy Bay Mountain

About this map

Sandy Bay Mountain anchors the southeastern corner of this terrain, marking a significant high point near the international boundary between Maine and Quebec. This remote borderland is defined by its primary drainage systems, including the South Branch Penobscot River and the headwaters of the West Branch Sandy Stream. The presence of Blake Gore Rd represents the limited human infrastructure in an area otherwise dominated by the natural hydrology and elevation of the northern woods. As documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011, this landscape serves as a vital watershed for the Penobscot basin, where the topography dictates the flow of glacial-fed streams across the frontier.
