About this map

Boundary Bald Mountain dominates this Somerset County landscape, anchoring a wilderness of interconnected waterways and sharp elevation changes in the Maine backcountry. The South Branch Penobscot River winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, joined by a network of drainage systems including Fish Brook and Alder Brook. This terrain is defined by its numerous isolated water bodies, ranging from the descriptively named Wounded Deer Pond to the larger Jones Pond and Hale Pond tucked between ridges.

Evidence of human activity is sparse, concentrated primarily on the Old Kelly Dam Rd and the prominent Trickey Bluffs to the east. The dominance of peaks like Moose Mountain alongside these headwaters highlights the area's role as a source for the Penobscot watershed. This map provides a look at a sparsely developed corridor where the geography remains shaped by glacial ponds and narrow river valleys.
