About this map

The Moose River dominates this north-woods landscape, winding through a territory defined by the lumber economy and the Canadian Pacific railroad during the 1920s. Centered on the rugged interior of Somerset County, the map reveals a pattern of isolated settlements and work camps such as Dyer-ville, Boston Ranch, and No 5 Farm that supported the region's timber interests. The village of Jackman and the nearby Jackman Station serve as the primary hubs of activity, while the rural Stetson School marks a rare point of civic infrastructure in this wilderness.

Waterways are the primary corridors of movement, from the expansive Holeb Pond and Little Big Wood Pond to the network of smaller basins like Benjamin Pond and Loon Pond. Significant elevations including Sally Mountain and Jacket Mountain rise above the complex system of bogs and streams, while a Fire Station on the peaks highlights the era's focus on forest protection. The presence of Attean Landing on the shores of the lake suggests the localized transport networks connecting the rail line to the deep woods.
