About this map

The North Branch Penobscot River winds through this corner of Somerset County, Maine, defining a landscape of high timberlands and remote water bodies. Dominating the northeastern terrain is Comstock Mtn, while Green Mtn rises further west, framing a network of drainages that feed into the river system. The presence of the Golden Rd underscores the area's significance to the regional logging industry, providing essential access through the dense forests of the North Maine Woods.

Water features are the primary landmarks for navigation and resource management here, from the larger Foley Pond and its namesake Foley Outlet to the smaller, secluded Little Lane Pond and Fitzgerald Pond. This survey also documents several minor watercourses such as Rattling Brook and Bog Brook, which are critical for those studying the hydrology and recreational history of these highland tracts in the early 21st century.
