About this map

Baker Lake dominates the southern landscape of this remote Somerset County territory, serving as a primary water source for the Baker Branch Saint John River which flows northward through the center of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the western Brailey Brook and the eastern Turner Brook, which cut through the high-elevation contours of the North Maine Woods.

A sparse network of industrial and logging roads provides the only terrestrial access to this wilderness area. Significant routes like St Aurelie Rd and Baker Lake Rd navigate the steep grades near the lake, while Nine Mile Rd and Foss Brook Rd trace the periphery. The 2014 survey illustrates the region's character as a managed timberland, where the infrastructure is built primarily around water management and forestry transport rather than permanent settlement.
