2014 Map of Hardwood Mountain

About this map

Southwest Branch Saint John River defines the international boundary in this 2014 survey, where the northwest corner of Maine meets Quebec. The landscape is characterized by its high-latitude timberlands and drainage systems, notably where the Little Southwest Branch Saint John River and Dead Brook converge with the main branch. In the eastern sector, the terrain rises toward Hardwood Mtn, a prominent peak that anchors the topography of Somerset County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent isolation of the North Woods, showing only a sparse network of logging routes like Nine Mile Rd and Carter Brook Rd navigating the dense forests and river valleys that have defined the region's geography for generations.
