About this map

Whiting sits at the head of Whiting Bay, where the Orange River and Moose Brook meet the tide in this Downeast Maine landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of freshwater lakes and coastal inlets, including Western Lake, Eastern Lake, and the expansive Orange Lake to the southwest. The terrain is notably punctuated by numerous named peaks such as Keniston Mtn, Estey Mtn, and Pughole Mtn, which rise between the drainages of the Hobart Stream and Crane Mill Brook.

Evidence of local industry and conservation is visible through the Crane Mill Brook Reservoir and the Edmunds Wilderness Trail, which winds through the northern reaches near Edmunds. The coastal geography is intricate, featuring numerous points and coves like Leighton Point, Crow Neck, and Carrying Place Cove. This survey reflects a region where the traditional connection between the inland forests and the Atlantic remains the primary geographical driver.
