About this map

Jackman and its nearby rail stop at Jackman Station serve as the primary anchors for this 1923 survey of the Moose River valley. The Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the landscape, linking isolated outposts like the Stetson School and Dyer-ville with the broader world. This era shows a region defined by its timber and transit heritage, where small settlements such as Attean Landing and Boston Ranch represent the seasonal and industrial life of the Maine woods.

Water dominates the geography, with Wood Stream connecting Little Big Wood Pond to the larger Attean Pond, which is overlooked by the prominent Attean Mountain. To the north, the international border with Quebec follows the drainage divide near Slidedown Mtn, while interior landmarks like No 5 Farm suggest the specialized agriculture required to support remote logging and rail operations in Somerset County.
