About this map

Little Southwest Branch Saint John River defines the western edge of this Somerset County landscape, which reflects the deep roots of the Maine timber industry in the early 21st century. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of private and logging roads, such as Carter Nine Mile Rd and International Paper Rd, indicating active forest management and transportation. A rare point of named infrastructure is found at Billy-Jack Depot near the southern boundary, a site likely tied to regional industrial operations. Much of the topography follows the winding path of Brailey Brook, which snakes through the center of the quadrangle. These features together show a sparsely populated but commercially significant working forest at the edge of the international border.
