1989 Map of Kind And Bartlett Lake

About this map

Spencer Lake and King and Bartlett Lake dominate this remote northern landscape, which remained largely defined by its original township survey boundaries into the late twentieth century. This 1989 provisional survey reveals a terrain shaped by the waters of Spencer Stream and Little Spencer Stream, punctuated by the white water of Gore Rapids and the narrow passage of Spencer Gut. The map documents the intricate drainage network of the Somerset backwoods, including Parker Pond, Shaw Pond, and the wetlands of Pokum Bog. Beyond the waterways, prominent elevations like Bear Mountain, Black Nubble, and Little King Ridge overlook the timberlands. While primarily a natural expanse, the inclusion of a Gravel Pit and several unnamed unimproved roads indicates the ongoing role of resource management and local infrastructure in this unorganized territory.
