About this map

Baxter State Park dominates the northern reaches of this Maine landscape, where the southern slopes of Mt Katahdin meet a complex network of glacial ponds and streams. In the late 1980s, this area remained a pristine wilderness defined by its water systems, from the expansive Millinocket Lake in the south to the secluded Tea Pond and Lower Togue Pond further north. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Trout Mountain and detailed shoreline features such as Pickerel Cove and Powers Point.

A notable survey boundary runs north-to-south between Piscataquis and Penobscot Counties, cutting through a landscape of diverse water bodies including Pockwockamus Pond and Twin Ponds. The presence of the Trans Line and several private roads indicates the sparse but necessary infrastructure for managing these timberlands and conservation areas, while labels like Clark Island and State Island anchor the geography of the larger lakes.
