2014 Map of Seboomook

About this map

Seboomook Lake and the northern reaches of Moosehead Lake dominate this Maine landscape, where the West Branch Penobscot River flows eastward through the heart of the woods. The settlement of Seboomook serves as a focal point near the southern shoreline of its namesake lake, marking a critical junction for logging and transport routes like the Golden Rd and Seboomook Rd. The hydraulic management of the region is centered on the Seboomook Dam, which regulates the flow from the lake into the river. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly waterlogged near Cassidy Deadwater and Russell Stream. This 2014 survey captures a timber-producing landscape defined by the crossing of the Somerset and Piscataquis county line, illustrating the complex network of private forest roads and natural drainages like Elm Stream and Carry Brook that have long supported the local wood-harvesting economy.
