2011 Map of Baker Lake

About this map

Baker Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Somerset County territory, serving as a primary water source for the Baker Branch Saint John River which flows northward. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Brailey Brook and Turner Brook, which drain the dense woodland. This area of T7 R17 WELS is characterized by its isolation and its industrial history, evidenced by the presence of the International Paper Rd. The roadway network, including Carter Nine Mile Rd and Baker Lake Rd, provides the primary access points into this timber-producing region. The drainage patterns and road layouts illustrate the modern management of these Maine north woods, where the natural flow of the Saint John River system intersects with the infrastructure of the logging industry.
