About this map

Jackman serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1980s landscape of Somerset County, where the Moose River meanders south toward Three Streams. This survey captures the region during a period of active land management and resource extraction, evidenced by various Gravel Pits and the Jackman Field airstrip near the town center. The terrain is defined by substantial elevations like Catheart Mountain and Owls Head, which dominate the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle.

Water plays a critical role in the local geography, with the significant expanse of Attean Pond to the west and the Long Pond boundary to the east. The map records the hydraulic character of the wilderness through features like Attean Falls and the rocky Rapids along the river. These natural landmarks, alongside the network of logging roads and trails, illustrate the remote yet industrially connected nature of the Maine North Woods in the late twentieth century.
