2018 Map of Hinckley Hill

About this map

Hinckley Hill dominates this portion of Somerset County, serving as the central topographical anchor for a complex network of north-flowing headwaters. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by industrial forestry and high-elevation wetlands, where the Brailey Brook Rd and Baker Lake Rd provide the primary access through the timberlands. The drainage pattern here is particularly intricate, as the land shed waters through systems like Brailey Brook and the Abacotnetic Stream. Further south and east, the terrain breaks into smaller valleys carved by McDonald Brook, Prouty Brook, and the eastern and western branches of E Br Rainey Brook. The map illustrates how modern logging infrastructure follows the natural contours of the ridges, maintaining a light footprint on a landscape where water management and elevation dictate the movement through the Big Six Township territory.
