2021 Map of Russell Mountain

About this map

Russell Mtn dominates the high ground of Saint John Township in this modern survey of the North Woods, anchoring a landscape of heavy timber and intricate waterways. This region, documented in the early twenty-first century, is defined by its network of forest access routes like Russell Pond Rd and Elm Pond Rd which penetrate the dense terrain. The hydrology is centered on Russell Pond and the sprawling Russell Bog, with drainage flowing through Russell Stream and Nuthedus Stream. The presence of several distinct peaks, including Nuthedus Mtn and Mucalsea Mtn, suggests a topography that has long dictated the placement of logging roads and seasonal camps. To the south, Elm Pond and its namesake Elm Pond Mtn mark a secondary cluster of named features, illustrating the continuity of local nomenclature in this remote part of Somerset County.
