About this map

Moxie Pond dominates this Somerset County landscape, stretching narrow and long through the Maine woods near the settlement of Troutdale. The water is divided by distinct topographical landmarks like Burnt Jacket Island and Pine Island, and connected by narrow passages including Caribou Narrows, Black Narrows, and Mosquito Narrows. The shoreline is characterized by prominent elevations such as Mosquito Mountain and Johns Hill, while the Moxie Pond Dam regulates the water levels at the northern end.

Transport history is visible through the Old Railroad Rd which runs parallel to the western shore, hinting at the area's industrial past. A network of tote roads and forest routes like Shirley Tote Rd and Indian Pond Rd provide access to the remote interior. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the drainage basins of Big Sandy Stream and Bear Brook, which flow beneath the heights of Bald Mountain.
