About this map

Moose River dominates this northern Maine landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and interconnected water bodies in Somerset County. The settlement at Holeb sits along the river's path, connected by Holeb Rd to the surrounding wilderness. To the east, Holeb Pond is a prominent geographic feature, containing Birch Island and fed by Holeb Stream and Turner Brook. The presence of Boston Ranch on the southern shore of the pond provides a rare named landmark in this sparsely populated region.

The southern portion of the area rises toward Number Five Mountain, while the lowlands are characterized by extensive water systems like Big Fish Pond, Little Fish Pond, and the massive Long Bog. These waterways, including Barrett Brook and McKenney Brook, illustrate the historic water-based transport and drainage patterns critical to the local logging and outdoor recreation economies of the early 21st century.
