1950 Map of Attean

About this map

The Canadian Pacific railway cuts through this northern wilderness, connecting small railroad-oriented settlements like Holeb and Jackman Station. At mid-century, this area of Somerset County served as a rugged interface between the United States and Canada, with the Canada United States border running along the northwestern height of land. The landscape is defined by its water systems, notably the massive Attean Pond and Wood Pond, which supported the local economy of the Jackman region. Land-use markers such as Boston Ranch and the isolated No 5 Farm indicate pockets of agricultural activity amid the heavy timberlands. Further up the Moose River, the small settlement of Dyerville and the Stetson Sch reflect the sparse but established social infrastructure for the families living near the northern reaches of the Sally Mountain range.
