About this map

The Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the heart of this North Woods territory, serving as a vital corridor between the small outposts of Holeb and Jackman Station. Surveyed in the early 1920s, the landscape is defined by its complex network of interconnected waterways and ridges, including the prominent Sally Mountain and Burnt Jacket Mountain. Along the shores of Little Big Wood Pond, local activity centers on locations like Foxs Camp and Dyerville, while Attean Landing marks a key point of access to the expansive Attean Pond.

Remote settlements such as Boston Ranch and No 5 Farm suggest an economy tied to the rugged terrain, bolstered by the presence of the Stetson School in Dennistown. The map meticulously records the international border at Sandy Bay, where Slidedown Mtn stands near the division between Quebec and the United States, providing a detailed look at the region's logging and transport geography before modern development.
