1950 Map of Attean

About this map

The Canadian Pacific railway cuts a distinct path through this Somerset County borderland, connecting the remote settlements of Holeb and Jackman Station. This 1950 update of 1940s aerial photography captures a landscape of intense logging and water-based transit, centered on the sprawling waters of Attean Pond and Wood Pond. The presence of the Stetson Sch and Boston Ranch indicates established, albeit isolated, pockets of activity within the township structure of Dennistown and Attean. To the north and west, the international boundary between Quebec and Maine follows the height of land, where Slidedown Mt and Bald Mountain overlook the Liniere River and Sandy Stream. The map reveals a complex network of interior waterways, from the narrow Spencer Rips to the expansive Hog Island, which were essential for timber movement and regional access before the expansion of modern road systems.
