2011 Map of Black Brook Pond

About this map

The Kennebec River carves through this Somerset County wilderness, serving as a primary corridor for a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and logging roads. This 2011 survey illustrates the remote character of the Maine woods, where the drainage from Squirtgun Flowage and Chase Stream feeds into larger basins. Notable elevations like Wilson Hill overlook a series of glacial features including Black Brook Pond, Long Pond, and Horseshoe Pond. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure for outdoor access and resource management, documented through routes such as Capital Rd and Dead Stream Rd, which penetrate the forest to reach secluded sites like Tobey Pond and Island Pond. This is a portrait of a working landscape where the timber and recreational economies meet the natural flow of the North Woods.
