About this map

The Passadumkeag River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape where the Penobscot Co and Hancock Co boundary line divides the territory. This interior Maine region is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and connected waterways, including the four-part chain of Lower Pistol Lake, Middle Pistol Lake, Side Pistol Lake, and Upper Pistol Lake. To the south, the waters of Nicatous Lake and West Lake dominate the geography, fed by drainages like Nicatous Stream.

Elevated terrain is most prominent at Duck Mtn in the east, overlooking Spencer Brook. The presence of numerous logging roads and access routes, such as Nicatous Stream Rd and Passadumkeag AWT, indicates the ongoing importance of the timber industry in this part of the Maine North Woods. Notable local features like Trueworthy Pond and Porter Pond provide specific points of reference for those familiar with these remote backwoods waterways.
