Long Pond anchors the southern reaches of this Maine landscape, where the waters of Churchill Stream and Barton Brook converge. This 1989 provisional study documents the vast wetland systems and timberlands of Somerset County, defined largely by unorganized territories and grants such as Thorndike, Soldiertown, and the Sandwich Academy Grant. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, with isolated waters like Luther Pond, Muskrat Pond, and Fish Pond interspersed among private woods roads. A few Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction activity, while the eastern edge is dominated by the sprawling Twelvemile Bog. The map illustrates a remote working forest before modern development, tracing the paths of the South Branch Brassua Stream and Stony Brook as they navigate the basin.
