2014 Map of Tomhegan Pond

About this map

Tomhegan Pond and the surrounding timberlands of Somerset County define this remote landscape of the Maine North Woods as it appeared in 2014. The terrain is a complex network of glacial ponds and drainages, including the high-elevation Dipper Pond and the centrally located Center Pond. This sheet is dominated by an extensive network of logging and access roads that crisscross the backcountry, such as the Northern Rd, Old Middlesex Rd, and the Soldiertown Rd, illustrating the modern infrastructure supporting the region's long-standing forest products industry. Waterways like the South Branch Penobscot River in the northwest and Socatean Stream in the northeast frame the watershed. Local landmarks and unique road names like Toe of the Boot Rd and Drinkwater Rd suggest the localized history and nomenclature of the sports and camps traditionally found throughout this wilderness area.
