2014 Map of King And Bartlett Lake

About this map

King and Bartlett Lake and Spencer Lake anchor this remote Somerset County landscape, defined by a network of drainage basins and logging access routes. The hydrology is complex, featuring the winding Little Spencer Stream, the marshes of Joe Pokum Bog, and the turbulent Gore Rapids along Spencer Stream. The topography is marked by significant elevations such as Bear Mtn and Black Nubble, while Pray Hill and Burnt Hill rise above the southern valleys. A system of private and forestry roads, including Spencer Rd and Grand Falls Rd, provides the primary access through these timberlands. For researchers, the map details many smaller water bodies like Parker Pond, Horseshoe Pond, and the connected Shaw Pond and Lower Shaw Pond, illustrating the interconnected nature of the Maine North Woods wilderness.
