2018 Map of Spruce Brook

About this map

The Baker Branch Saint John River winds through this heavily forested section of Saint John Township, defining a landscape shaped by an intricate network of waterways. In this remote part of Somerset County, the terrain is characterized by the confluence of numerous tributaries including Campbell Brook, Spruce Brook, and Trout Brook. Evidence of the region's managed timberlands is visible through a system of unpaved access ways such as Baker Lake Rd, Russell Mt Rd, and the numbered 490 Rd. The southeastern portion of the map is notable for the Loon Stream Deadwater, a distinct widening of Loon Stream that illustrates the slow-moving, marshy drainage patterns common to the Maine North Woods. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the upper Saint John watershed, where brooks like Lost Pond Brook and Post Brook drain the high ground between these vital timber transport routes.
