About this map

Indian Pond and the surrounding wilderness of Somerset County dominate this landscape, where the Kennebec River drainage system creates a complex network of waterways. Small settlements and rural outposts such as Tarratine and Somerset Junction are positioned near the northern water bodies, including Brassua Lake and Misery Stream. These points of habitation are connected by a handful of rural routes like Tarratine Rd and Milliken Farm Rd, reflecting the area's history as a remote interior timber and sporting region.

The map reveals the intricate hydrology of the Kennebec headwaters, specifically the West Outlet and East Outlet that feed into the pond. High points like Cornish Hill near Cornish Farm overlook a terrain defined by numerous tributaries, including Churchill Stream, Gold Brook, and Falls Brook. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the topography before significant modern developments, preserved in its traditional state of scattered farms and vital water corridors.
