About this map

Jackman serves as the primary hub in this late 20th-century survey of the Maine North Woods, where the local economy and geography are defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and the Moose River. The landscape is dominated by Attean Pond, featuring Hog Island and Birch Island, situated beneath the prominent elevations of Sally Mountain and Attean Mountain.

Waterways are central to the region's character, as seen in the white-water features of Holeb Falls and Spencer Rips. Remote outposts like Attean Landing provide access points to the vast interconnected water systems including Holeb Pond and Wood Pond. Large ecological features such as No 5 Bog and Bog Pond showcase the varied terrain of Somerset County before the digital era, preserving the locations of remote campsites and woods trails used by generations of sportsmen.
