1989 Map of Pierce Pond

About this map

Dead River carves a dominant path through this portion of Somerset County, characterized by a series of significant lakes and high peaks. The interconnected waters of Pierce Pond, joined by The Thoroughfare and reaching south into Otter Pond, define the central geography of the quadrangle. This area, largely managed within the Bowtown and Pierce Pond townships, shows a landscape where water and elevation dictate all movement. Notable peaks like Hurricane Mtn and Black Nubble overlook the valley, while the river's descent is marked by Poplar Hill Falls. The map records a wilderness-oriented terrain with specific points of interest for those tracking regional history or geography, such as the Caribou Narrows and the remote Johnson Bog at the northern boundary.
