2018 Map of Spider Lake

About this map

Spider Lake and Pleasant Lake form the central hydrological focus of this North Woods territory in Piscataquis County, Maine. The landscape is defined by its complex network of interconnected ponds and streams, which historically served as vital corridors for the region's timber industry. A series of forest management roads, including Churchill Dam Rd and Haymock Rd, trace the lowlands between significant topographic rises like Harrow Mtn and Pleasant Mtn. To the south and east, the terrain becomes more pronounced along Cliff Ridge and Echo Ridge, overlooking isolated water bodies such as Cliff Lake and Upper Soper Pond. This area remains characterized by its remote character and the prevalence of expansive wetlands and bogs, evidenced by the numerous unnamed marsh symbols surrounding Grass Pond and Upper Portage Pond.
