About this map

Stetson Mtn and a series of prominent high-ground features dominate this interior section of Washington County, where the landscape is defined by long, narrow ridges and an intricate drainage system. The northern reach is centered on the waters of Upper Hot Brook Lake, featuring several named points and coves such as Dark Point, Halfmoon Cove, and Kinney Cove, along with Kittery Island. The terrain is characterized by a north-south orientation of ridges, including Public Lot Ridge, Bennett Ridge, and Howard Ridge, which channel numerous streams.

Water moves through this timbered territory via several branches, most notably West Branch Hot Brook and E Br Hot Brook. Narrow roads like Baker Ridge Rd and Atlas Rd provide the only access through the dense topography. The map illustrates a region where land use is dictated by the steep elevations of Owl Mtn and Jimmey Mtn, maintaining a character of remote, managed woodland and watershed protection.
