2011 Map of Dimmick Mountain

About this map

Dimmick Mountain stands as the central landmark of this Somerset County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of waterways and a legacy of timber and transport. The southern portion of Moxie Pond and the expansive Baker Pond feed into a web of drainages including Baker Stream and Wild Brook. One of the most distinctive historical markers is Old Railroad Rd, which cuts a north-south line through the center of the terrain, tracing a former path of commerce toward the Deadwater region. This low-lying area near Austin Stream Falls reveals the natural bottlenecks and water power locations that were vital to early Maine industry. To the west, the landscape rises toward Heald Ponds and several smaller basins like Little Dimmick Pond, illustrating the glacial hydrology of the Maine woods.
