2014 Map of Tunk Lake

About this map

Tunk Lake dominates this Downeast Maine landscape, a deep water body surrounded by a rugged collection of granite peaks including Catherine Mtn, Caribou Mtn, and Black Mtn. The 2014 survey reveals a transition from these high summits down to the low-lying wetlands and coastal bogs of the south. Evidence of the region's rail and timber history appears at Goodwin Siding, while a dense network of smaller waters like Wizard Pond, Spring River Lake, and Flanders Pond are connected by drainages such as Tunk Stream and Whitten Parritt Stream. The map details the remote character of the Hancock and Washington County border, where isolated routes like Me-182 and Black Mountain Rd provide the only access to these glacial ponds and ridges.
