About this map

St John River and its major tributary, the Baker Branch St John River, define the southern edge of this remote Maine logging landscape. The interior is a dense network of hydrologic features including St Francis Lake and its namesake St Francis Brook, alongside Turner Pond and Turner Brook. In this late-twentieth-century survey, the traditional Maine township and range system is evident, with boundaries for T 8 R 1 6 W E L S and surrounding divisions clearly marked. The lack of public thoroughfares is notable; the few transit routes through the timberlands are exclusively marked as Private roads, illustrating the industrial and restricted nature of the backcountry during this period. The survey captures a moment before modern digital mapping, documenting the intricate flow of the Desolation Brook and Campbell Branch North through the Somerset County woods.
