1989 Map of Foster Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The boundary between Piscataquis and Somerset counties runs through this northern Maine wilderness, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and mountain ponds. The landscape is defined by long, glacial ridges like Foster Ridge and Crockett Ridge that channel the drainage of numerous brooks into bogs and flowages. Significant water bodies such as Austin Pond and Bald Mountain Pond dominate the high ground, while lower elevations are marked by the Kingsley Flowage and Nye Bog. This region was largely undeveloped in the late 1980s, primarily consisting of unorganized territories like Blanchard Plt, Mayfield, and Kingsbury Plt. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet suggests active resource extraction or road maintenance within these timberlands, where many streams like the South Branch Austin Stream provided essential drainage for the surrounding terrain.
