About this map

Boundary Bald Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of Somerset County, serving as a primary topographical anchor for this section of northwestern Maine. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably the South Branch Penobscot River which courses through the northern half of the quadrangle. High-altitude ponds are scattered throughout the timberlands, including Wounded Deer Pond, Dority Pond, and the centrally located Jones Pond.

Transport into these reaches is facilitated by a handful of established routes, such as Old Cheney Rd and Bald Mountain Rd, which provide access to the steep terrain around Moose Mtn and Trickey Bluffs. This 2014 survey documents a region where the traditional logging and sporting landscape remains intact, preserved through naming conventions that reflect local history, such as Hale Brook and Heald Inlet. The drainage patterns, particularly along Alder Brook and Fish Brook, highlight the natural water storage critical to the Penobscot watershed.
