2018 Map of Hurricane Pond

About this map

La Croix Depot stands as a primary landmark in this remote corner of Somerset County, Maine, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada defines the western landscape. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain dominated by an intricate network of waterways and ponds, including Hurricane Pond and Little Saint John Lake. The headwaters of the Southwest Branch Saint John River flow through the northeast, while numerous smaller bodies of water like Lac Annette and Frost Pond are linked by seasonal streams such as Fish Brook and Roberts Brook. The cartography emphasizes the area's isolation and its reliance on logging or boundary-maintenance routes, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns and timberland topography typical of the North Maine Woods during this era.
