2014 Map of Foster Ridge

About this map

Foster Ridge and Crockett Ridge define the high ground of this Piscataquis and Somerset County border region, overlooking a complex network of wetlands and mountain ponds. The landscape is marked by substantial water bodies including Bald Mountain Pond, Thanksgiving Pond, and Hussey Pond, while low-lying areas are home to Kingsley Bog and Nye Bog. Human presence is largely confined to the southeastern corner, where the Me-16 corridor provides access to the Old Stage Coach Rd. For those researching local family history, the map includes the Hilton Cem and Titcomb Cem, small burial sites situated near the road networks that hint at the area's rural settlement patterns. The terrain transitions from the open water of Baker Flowage and Weeks Basin in the south to the secluded basins of Marble Pond and Spectacle Pond in the north.
