1925 Map of Attean

About this map

Canadian Pacific rails cut through the wilderness of Somerset County in this survey, following a winding route past Jackman Station and the settlement of Holeb. The landscape is dominated by the waters of Moose River and Attean Pond, where Attean Landing sits at the foot of Sally Mountain. This era captures the remote character of northwestern Maine, where small outposts like Boston Ranch and No 5 Farm appear as isolated clearings in the timberlands. Along the northern boundary, Slidedown Mtn and Slidedown Valley define the border crossing near Sandy Bay. The map reveals a world of logging and rail transit, noting transient sites like Foxs Camp and the local Stetson School, reflecting a period when industry and education were deeply tied to the seasonal rhythms of the forest.
