2014 Map of Saint John Ponds

About this map

Upper First Saint John Pond and its subsequent downstream basins form the centerpiece of this interior Somerset County landscape. The topography is defined by the high elevations of Truesdale Mtn and Seboomook Mtn, which frame a dense network of hydrologic features including Robinson Pond, Austin Pond, and Little Lane Pond. These waters feed into the Baker Br Saint John River and Baker Stream, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Maine woods before they reach the larger river systems. A few primitive routes like Access RD and 4th ST provide the only terrestrial navigation through the area. The map reveals a land utilized for its timber and water resources, where the transition from Summit Ridge down to the Big Bog near the N Br Penobscot River highlights the varied wetland and mountain terrain.
