About this map

The town of Jackman serves as the gateway to this expansive river-and-lake system in Somerset County during the late 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the massive Attean Pond, which is punctuated by Hog Island and Birch Island. To the west, the Moose River winds through the terrain, dropping over Holeb Falls and churning through Spencer Rips before feeding into the larger water bodies.

Several named peaks, including Sally Mountain and Attean Mountain, define the elevations above the numerous smaller ponds like Clearwater Pond and Mud Pond. The map also captures the distinct township boundaries that organize this remote area, including Attean (T 5 R 1 N B K P) and Bradstreet (T 4 R 7 B K P W K R). This era of the survey highlights the intricate network of brooks, such as Benjamin Brook and McKenney Brook, that link the high timberlands to the central basin.
