2018 Map of Wytopitlock Lake

About this map

Wytopitlock Lake and the surrounding wetlands of Aroostook County dominate this interior Maine landscape, defined by a complex network of glacial hydrology. The terrain is characterized by winding watercourses such as Wytopitlock Stream and Macwahoc Stream, which drain into stagnant basins like the Thompson Deadwater. Human activity is sparse, concentrated primarily along a few established thoroughfares like Lake Rd and Dixie Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the Pierce Cem near the junction of these roads provides a rare permanent marker of the families who settled this timber-and-water territory. Isolated water bodies like Duck Pond, Braley Lake, and the remote Lost Pond dot the high ground between the various brooks, illustrating the primary drainage patterns of the region's wilderness.
