About this map

Brandy Pond and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this hydrographic study along the border of Penobscot and Hancock Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the meandering Buffalo Stream and Little Buffalo Stream, which drain the lowlands between several prominent elevations. Significant topographic markers include Lord Mtn in the north and Buffalo Hill to its south, while Baker Hill and Spaulding Ridge anchor the central and western portions of the quadrangle.

Remote timber and service roads like 24-06-0 and the Brandy Pond Rd provide the only land access through this interior Maine terrain. This 2018 survey details the intricate drainage patterns where Main Stream and Brandy Stream converge, offering a clear view of the natural water management within these unpopulated townships. The presence of smaller bodies like Snail Pond and Upper Oxhead Pond further illustrates the glacial hydrology characteristic of the region.
