About this map

The Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal Maine landscape, preserving a complex network of freshwater lakes and tidal inlets. The Orange River flows from Orange Lake through the heart of the township of Whiting, connecting a series of smaller water bodies including Little Lake and Roaring Lake. This area represents a critical intersection of inland hydrology and the Atlantic, where numerous brooks like Crane Mill Brook and Cranberry Brook feed into the expansive Whiting Bay.

Evidence of local history and industry is scattered throughout the terrain, from the Pier Ruins along the shore to the East Stream Sch and the Lookout Tower atop Littles Mtn. The rugged coastline is deeply indented by coves such as Broad Cove and Leighton Cove, while various family-named landmarks like Keniston Mtn, Estey Mtn, and Pughole Mtn define the topography surrounding the village centers of Edmunds and North Trescott.
