2024 Map of Hardwood Mountain SE

About this map

The Little Southwest Branch Saint John River winds through this heavily forested section of Somerset County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape shaped by the logging industry. This recent survey illustrates a remote network of timber roads, including Saint Aurelie Rd and Baker Lake Rd, which provide access through the dense topography. The terrain is characterized by numerous small waterways and wetlands, most notably Brailey Brook, which snakes across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Unlike more settled regions, the lack of named towns or civic structures highlights the area's primary use as a managed forest resource. Local landmarks are almost exclusively related to the natural hydrography and the functional naming of transportation routes like Gilbert Rd and Cross Rd.
