2011 Map of Silver Lake

About this map

Katahdin Iron Works stands as a primary historical focal point along the West Branch Pleasant River in this part of Piscataquis County. The landscape is defined by a series of peaks, including Houston Mountain, Ore Mountain, and Roundtop Mountain, which overlook a network of glacial water bodies and logging camps. Significant water features such as Silver Lake and the expansive Big Houston Pond are connected by numerous waterways like Houston Brook and Saddlerock Brook. The road network, featuring Katahdin Iron Works Rd and Ore Mountain Rd, suggests a legacy of industrial and recreational access. Remote outposts like Pine Camp and Arnold Camps are documented here, providing a detailed look at the backcountry settlement patterns and the intersection of industrial history with the wilderness of the Maine North Woods during the early 21st century.
