2018 Map of Black Brook Pond

About this map

The Kennebec River carves a deep valley through this Somerset County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for seasonal access and recreation. The terrain is defined by a dense network of remote water bodies, including the centrally located Ellis Pond and the Squirtgun Flowage to the north. Elevated landmarks such as Wilson Hill and Cold Stream Mtn overlook a complex hydrology of drainages like Tomhegan Stream and Chase Stream. A system of timber and access roads, including Capital Rd and Dead Stream Rd, weave between these ponds, reflecting the area's history as working forest land. The distribution of smaller bodies like Horseshoe Pond and Flatiron Pond suggests a glacially influenced topography where water collection in basins is the dominant geographic feature.
