About this map

Whetstone Pond and its neighboring waters define this Piscataquis County landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the peaks of the northern woods. High-elevation features like Russell Mtn and Little Russell Mtn overlook Punchbowl Pond, while further south, the land transitions to the marshy environs of Cook Bog and Mud Pond.

A network of local roads and lanes provides access to the shorelines and ridgelines, including N Shore Rd and S Shore Rd near Whetstone. This 2021 survey illustrates a region largely characterized by its natural topography, from the summit of Oak Hill to the remote waters of Foss Pond, situated between Foster Hill and Foss Mtn. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with Bottle Brook cutting through the western valleys.
