About this map

The Dead River carves a central path through this Somerset County wilderness, defined by its intersection with Spencer Stream at the site of Grand Falls. This 2011 survey captures the remote character of T3 R5 BKP WKR, where access is limited to unpaved forestry routes such as Lower Enchanted Rd and Scott Rd. Landings along the water, including Hayden Landing and Spring Lake Landing, suggest a landscape shaped by river transport and seasonal camps.

High elevations dominate the eastern and northern reaches, from the peaks of Basin Mountain and Hurricane Mountain to the ridges of Stony Brook Mountain. Between these heights, numerous bodies of water like Lower Enchanted Pond, Call Pond, and Eagle Pond dot the drainage basins. The presence of Stony Brook Camp in the northeast corner highlights the area's continued use for backcountry recreation and timber management.
