1989 Map of Doucie Brook

About this map

The Southwest Branch St John River flows through the northwest corner of this remote Somerset County landscape, a territory defined by industrial timberlands and organized township boundaries. This 1989 provisional survey documents the primitive road network and drainage patterns across areas like T 9 R 1 6 W E L S and T 1 0 R 1 6 W E L S, where the only named node of human activity is the Doucie Brook Campsite. The terrain is shaped by numerous seasonal waterways, including Knowles Brook and the descriptively named Desolation Brook, which drains from Desolation Pond in the southeast. These features, along with Comstock Bk, illustrate the complex hydrology of the Maine North Woods before later developments changed the backcountry access. The presence of routes marked as Private underscores the managed nature of this wilderness during the late twentieth century.
