2014 Map of Saint John Pond Depot

About this map

The North Branch Penobscot River and the Baker Branch Saint John River flow from this remote section of the Maine North Woods, representing a critical watershed divide where waters part toward the Penobscot and Saint John basins. This 2014 survey documents the industrial and recreational access routes of Somerset County, centering on the Saint John Pond Depot near the shores of Fifth Saint John Pond. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, including Carry Brook, Sweeney Brook, and Prouty Brook, which navigate the high-elevation terrain. Private timberlands are accessed by established thoroughfares such as Baker Lake Rd and Braily Brook Rd, showing the modern infrastructure required for land management and remote outpost maintenance in one of the most sparsely populated regions of the state.
