About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the northern heights of Somerset County, crossing a landscape defined by prominent peaks like Bald Mtn and Dimmick Mountain. This terrain is deeply integrated with a network of remote waters, including the cluster of Heald Ponds and the high-elevation Mountain Dimmick Pond. The drainage patterns here are significant, with Austin Stream winding south toward the settlement of Deadwater, where the current breaks at Austin Stream Falls.

A network of forestry and access roads like Baker Dimmick Rd and Troutdale Rd provides the primary infrastructure through these woods. The presence of the namesake settlement at the junction of Dead Water Rd and Town Line Rd serves as a lone point of habitation amidst the larger expanse of ponds such as Baker Pond and Austin Pond. This map captures a quintessential piece of the North Woods, illustrating the relationship between high-altitude hiking routes and the complex hydrology of the Austin Stream watershed.
