2024 Map of Russell Mountain

About this map

Russell Mtn and Little Russell Mtn anchor this upland region of Somerset County, where a network of logging roads and watercourses defines the landscape. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Russell Stream and Elm Stream collecting water from various high-elevation bogs and ponds. Significant peaks like Nulhedus Mtn and Mucalsea Mtn surround central water bodies, including the large Elm Pond and the more secluded Russell Pond. The road system, dominated by named routes such as the N Branch Access Rd and Russell Pond Rd, suggests an active timber or recreational land use. This area is characterized by its numerous small ponds like Bobs Pond and Bradley Pond, which are interconnected by seasonal brooks and streams, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the Maine interior.
