About this map

Flagstaff Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Maine quadrangle, where the North Branch Dead River and South Branch Dead River converge. The village of Stratton sits at the southern reach of the lake, serving as a gateway to the high peaks of the Bigelow Range, including Mt Bigelow, Cranberry Peak, and East Nubble. To the north, the settlement of Eustis is positioned along the Arnold Trl, a route steeped in the history of early northern expeditions.

Local history is preserved at the Eustis Cem and Flagstaff Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists researching families from these mountain communities. The terrain transitions from the water-level flats of Wethern Pond and Butler Pond to the prominent heights of Eustis Ridge and Veazy Ridge, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Dead River watershed prior to the modern era of forest management.
