2018 Map of Square Lake West

About this map

Square Lake and Eagle Lake dominate this northern Maine landscape, separated by a narrow land bridge that defines the regional geography. The hydrology of this Aroostook County wilderness is remarkably dense, featuring a network of water bodies including California Pond, the Sly Brook Lakes, and Little California Pond. The northern reaches are drained by numerous waterways such as California Brook, Dymond Brook, and Halfway Brook, which navigate through the wooded terrain. Distinctive coastal features like Abraham Point and Limestone Point provide clear landmarks along the eastern shore of Square Lake, while The Ledge marks a prominent elevation near the center. Though predominantly wild, the 2018 survey shows limited accessibility via Square Lake Rd and Abraham Point Rd, indicating the sparse settlement patterns typical of this remote timber and sporting region. Researchers can trace the varied drainage patterns from Three Brooks Cove into the surrounding hills via First Brook, Middle Brook, and Last Brook.
