2018 Map of Boundary Bald Mountain

About this map

Boundary Bald Mtn dominates the southern portion of this Somerset County landscape, anchoring a wilderness terrain defined by the headwaters of the South Branch Penobscot River. This modern survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the North Maine Woods, where numerous small water bodies like Wounded Deer Pond, Dority Pond, and Hutch Pond gather in the high elevations. The area's relative isolation is reflected in the limited infrastructure, consisting primarily of specialized routes such as S Branch Access Rd and Old Cheney Rd, which navigate the slopes between peaks. Significant elevation changes are marked by Trickey Bluffs and Moose Mtn, while Hale Pond and Jones Pond sit in the basins between these summits. The map provides clear evidence of the region’s hydrological significance, showing how Hale Brook and Fish Brook feed into the larger river systems that define this part of the Maine interior.
