About this map

Tunk Lake dominates the central landscape of this Downeast Maine region, surrounded by a complex network of granite peaks and glacial water bodies. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Catherine Mtn and Black Mtn, which overlook a series of smaller ponds including Wizard Pond and Barbless Pond. The map reveals a land heavily influenced by its hydrology, with extensive wetlands like Catskin Heath and Bogus Meadow filling the lowlands between ridges.

Goodwin Siding remains a notable point of interest, reflecting the historical infrastructure that once served this wooded interior. The shoreline of the primary lake is dotted with features like Mouse Island and Partridge Island, while the eastern boundary tracks the divide between Hancock and Washington counties. This map details a classic Maine wilderness interior where logging roads like Tunk Lake Rd provide the primary access to the scattered settlements and remote camps.
