What this local map set contains

The Piscataquis County directory currently covers 191 lakes or reservoirs. 191 charts use measured bathymetry from a published source; none rely on modeled contours. Recorded maximum depths range from 3 to 240 ft, with a median of 21 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 191 of 191 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Brook Trout (187), Lake Trout (25), Burbot (20), Landlocked Salmon (20) and Brown Bullhead (15). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

  1. Pemadumcook Lake: 100 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 11 cataloged target species.
  2. Chesuncook Lake: 150 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 7 cataloged target species.
  3. Nahmakanta Lake: 110 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 7 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
