2018 Map of Pierce Pond

About this map

Pierce Pond and its intricate network of connecting waterways dominate this Somerset County landscape. The central water body is divided by points and narrows, such as Caribou Narrows and Otter Pond Cove, while The Thoroughfare provides a navigable link toward Upper Pierce Pond. This northern wilderness is defined by its drainage patterns, where Enchanted Stream and the Dead River snake through a terrain punctuated by significant peaks including Dead River Mtn and Black Nubble. The presence of logging roads like Upper Enchanted Rd and Bowtown Rd illustrates the long-standing intersection of Maine's timber economy and its remote watershed. From the cascading Poplar Hill Falls in the northeast to the wetlands of Johnson Bog, the map provides a clear record of the area's hydrology and topography.
