About this map

Jackman and Jackman Station serve as the primary hubs for this region of Somerset County during the mid-1920s, oriented around the timber and rail economy. The Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting isolated outposts like Boston Ranch and Attean Landing to the wider world. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of water bodies and high peaks, including Wood Pond and Attean Mountain.

Insights into early 20th-century life are found at locations like the Stetson School and No 5 Farm, which highlight the sparse but established settlements within the townships of Dennistown and Forsythe. To the north, the international border with Quebec is clearly demarcated, where Slidedown Mtn and Sandy Stream Mtn overlook the valley. The map documents an era when the Moose River and its various tributaries were central to regional navigation and industry.
