2011 Map of Black Mountain

About this map

Tim Pond sits at the eastern edge of this 2011 survey, serving as the primary drainage point for a complex network of waterways including Hack Inlet and Alder Inlet. The landscape is dominated by significant topographical formations such as Boil Mountain and Black Mountain, which define the watershed for the various branches of Alder Stream. The branching hydrography of the Middle Branch, North Branch, and South Branch illustrates a terrain deeply carved by runoff from heights like Toenail Ridge and Elephants Head. Human presence is minimal, represented largely by primitive transit routes such as Tim Pond Rd and Mason Camps Rd, suggesting an area primarily used for timber management or seasonal backcountry access. This survey captures the remote character of Franklin County, where features like Threemile Ridge and Cow Ridge separate the many tributaries feeding into the larger stream systems.
