2011 Map of Stony Brook

About this map

Stony Brook and Wood Stream dominate this drainage basin in Somerset County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies and high peaks. The topography rises toward Slidedown Mountain in the northeast and Burnt Jacket Mountain in the south, while the valleys between are filled with significant water features like Little Turner Pond, Smith Pond, and the edge of Little Big Wood Pond. The mapping suggests a primarily wooded interior with limited infrastructure, save for the presence of Holeb Rd crossing the southern portion. This 2011 survey captures the area's hydrology at a time when traditional Maine timberlands remained largely undeveloped, preserving the original configuration of remote ponds like Beaver Pond and Turner Pond before modern encroachment.
