About this map

Wilson Hill and Cold Stream Mtn define this interior Somerset County landscape, where the terrain is dominated by a complex network of glacial ponds and flowages. The topography is marked by significant water features such as Black Brook Pond, Chase Stream Pond, and Squirtgun Flowage, which suggest a wilderness historically utilized for timber and outdoor recreation. A network of unimproved roads, including Capital Rd and Indian Pond Rd, provides the primary access through the dense woodlands, connecting remote water bodies like Chub Pond and Ellis Pond.

This 2021 update reflects the contemporary state of these Maine woods, showing the distribution of modern forestry routes like Fish Pond Rd and Carry Take Out Rd. While devoid of permanent settlements, the map provides detailed contours of the surrounding peaks and the drainage patterns of Black Brook and Brandy Brook, essential for understanding the hydrological connectivity of the Upper Kennebec region.
