About this map

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument dominates the northwestern portion of this northern Maine landscape, protecting a vast expanse of timberland and watersheds. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Whetstone Mtn, Kelloch Mtn, and the long spine of Millinocket Ridge. Below these heights, a complex network of waterways feeds into larger bodies, including Millinocket Lake at the southwestern edge and the Mud Brook Flowage.

A network of specialized transport routes, such as Hauling Road 1, Logging Road C, and Swift Brook RD, reveals the area's ongoing relationship with the timber industry. These roads intersect with more established regional connections like Stacyville Rd and Curtis Rd, which provide access to remote water features including Deasey Ponds, Trout Pond, and Little Soldier Pond. The hydrography of Schoodic Stream and Sandbank Stream further illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this Penobscot County wilderness.
