2018 Map of Socatean Bay

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates the southeastern portion of this map, where the waters of Socatean Bay reach into the timberlands of Somerset and Piscataquis counties. The drainage network is defined by the winding path of Socatean Stream and numerous tributaries such as Public Lot Brook and Williams Brook. This modern survey illustrates the persistent reach of historic logging and transport routes, most notably the Old Middlesex Rd and New Middlesex Rd that cut through the north-central woods. At the edge of the bay, Socatean Bay Airport and Socatean Point provide key landmarks for navigating this stretch of shoreline. The map documents a landscape of managed forests and seasonal access, where roads like Toe of Boot Rd and Tamarck Rd connect remote shorelines to the interior.
