2024 Map of Sandy Bay Mountain

About this map

The Canada Usa international boundary defines the eastern reach of this Somerset County landscape, where the high peaks of Sandy Bay Mountain overlook a complex network of northern waterways. The terrain is a watershed for several significant drainages, including the headwaters of the South Branch Penobscot River and the French-named Rivière du Loup. Transportation through these woods is limited to seasonal routes like the Alt Main Trl and Campbell Pond Rd, reflecting the area's primary use for timber and outdoor recreation. A distinctive cluster of lakes, including Lac du Monument, Lac Jolin, and the curiously named Lac Whisky, are scattered across the northwestern quadrant, linked by smaller streams such as Ruisseau Caouette and Ruisseau Laurison. This cartographic survey provides a modern look at how the Maine wilderness interfaces with its northern neighbor through shared hydrography like the Rivière du Monument.
