2014 Map of Great Pond

About this map

Great Pond and its surrounding peaks define this portion of Hancock County, where the West Branch Union River cuts through a landscape of ridges and glacial ponds. The settlement at Dow Pines and the Great Pond Cem provide focal points for local history, while the southern reaches near Silsby Plain show the transition from upland peaks like Spruce Mtn to the low-lying Warm Brook. This 2014 survey documents a network of timber and access roads, including Stud Mill Rd and Alligator Rd, which link numerous water bodies such as Rift Pond, King Pond, and Little Dutton Pond. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Black Cap Mtn and Morrison Pond Mtn, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Alligator Stream and Dead Stream systems.
