2011 Map of Russell Mountain

About this map

Russell Mountain and its neighboring peaks dominate this 2011 survey of the Maine woods in Somerset County. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage network and remote timberlands, where isolated peaks like Mucalsea Mountain and Elm Pond Mountain rise above a series of glacial ponds and interconnected waterways. The central corridor is marked by the course of Russell Stream and the 490 Rd, which provides a rare point of access into this wilderness area. Significant water bodies such as Russell Pond and Elm Pond serve as focal points for the local topography, fed by numerous brooks including Saddle Brook and Lost Pond Brook. This map provides a clear record of the watershed between the Little Russell Stream and the south-flowing Elm Stream, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the North Maine Woods.
