About this map

Misery Knob and Misery Ridge anchor this remote part of Somerset County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber access roads. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Misery Stream system, including its north and west branches, which feed into named basins like Upper Misery Pond and Misery Pond. Human activity in this wilderness is evidenced by the presence of Long Pond Dam on the Moose River and Lanigan Dam near the southern boundary.

Transport through the area relies on a grid of established logging routes such as Capital Rd and Chase Stream Rd. The map also identifies Milliken Farm, a notable solitary settlement point amidst the high terrain of Chase Stream Mountain and Long Pond Mountain. This 2011 survey illustrates the managed forest character of the Maine woods, where significant water bodies like Ten Thousand Acre Pond remain accessible only by these specialized road networks.
