2014 Map of Johnson Mountain

About this map

Johnson Mountain and the surrounding Maine wilderness are defined by a complex network of timber roads and drainage basins during the early 21st century. The settlement of West Forks occupies the southern portion of the quadrangle, situated where Us-201 winds through the highlands. The topography is dominated by peaks like Cold Stream Mtn and water features such as Cold Stream Falls and Markham Pond. The landscape is a patchwork of working forest land, evidenced by numerous named tracks like Skaling Pike, Enchanted Mountain Rd, and Capital Rd. Significant water bodies including Mountain Ponds and the E Br Salmon Stream provide a clear view of the hydrological patterns of Somerset County. This survey illustrates how contemporary infrastructure like Pierce Rd and Lone Jack RD continues to interface with the natural terrain of the North Woods.
