2014 Map of Square Lake East

About this map

Square Lake and Cross Lake dominate this northern Maine landscape, connected by a narrow waterway that defines the local geography. The shoreline is punctuated by numerous named landmarks such as Swede Point, Salmon Point, and Cranberry Point, reflecting a history of local navigation and land use. At Burnt Landing, a small settlement cluster sits at the end of Burnt Landing Rd, providing access to the water's edge. The surrounding terrain rises toward Square Lake Ridge, with a network of brooks like McClusky Brook and Minnow Brook draining the higher elevations. These topographic details illustrate the remote character of Aroostook County, where the economy and travel were dictated by the water and the timberlands long before the modern era.
