2011 Map of Spencer Lake

About this map

Spencer Lake dominates this wilderness landscape in Somerset County, Maine, stretching north toward the confluence of Little Spencer Stream and the seasonal outposts of the northern woods. In the early 21st century, the area remains defined by its remote character, with primary human activity centered around Hobbstown Depot Camp and the Spencer Lake Camps. The surrounding terrain is marked by significant peaks including Spencer Mountain, Hardwood Mountain, and Hardscrabble Mountain, which overlook a network of isolated water bodies like Whipple Pond, Porter Pond, and King and Bartlett Lake. Logging roads such as Grace Pond Rd and Spencer Rd provide the only significant terrestrial access to these waters, tracing the routes once used by timber crews and sportsmen through this densely wooded interior.
