About this map

Spencer Lake and King and Bartlett Lake dominate this high-relief landscape in the Maine woods during the late 1980s. The map illustrates a region defined by complex hydrology and logging-era boundaries, including townships like King & Bartlett and Flagstaff. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Spencer Stream winding through Gore Rapids and the narrow passage of Spencer Gut.

Evidence of local resource use is visible at the Gravel Pit near Becky Brook, while the topography is punctuated by peaks such as Bear Mountain and Black Nubble. The presence of several bogs, including Parker Bog and Pokum Bog, suggests a wild, undisturbed wetland environment typical of Somerset County's interior. This survey captures the area just after the mid-1980s aerial photography, documenting the road networks and water levels of the period.
