About this map

Tumbledown Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this interior Somerset County landscape, defined by a dense network of watercourses and high-elevation ponds. The drainage pattern is complex, with Spencer Stream and its tributaries, including West Branch Spencer Stream and Sweetser Brook, cutting through the southwestern terrain. To the north and east, the hydrology shifts toward the Baker Stream system, which connects several high-altitude water bodies such as Rock Pond and Iron Pond.

This 2011 survey illustrates a wilderness character largely devoid of major roads or settlements, typical of the logging territories in northwestern Maine. Significant summits like Number Six Mountain and Three Slide Mountain provide distinct landmarks for navigators and surveyors. Smaller water features, including Blakeslee Lake and Davis Pond, suggest a landscape shaped by glacial activity, while the presence of named brooks like Gold Brook and Barrett Brook highlight the intricate watershed that feeds into the larger Maine river systems.
