1977 Map of Heald Pond

About this map

The timber-rich terrain of Somerset County is captured here through aerial imagery, revealing the industrial and hydrological patterns of the late 1970s. The Jackman Mill sits at a critical junction near the western edge of the quadrangle, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the forest products industry. This orthophotoquad provides a clear view of the complex water systems that define the area, dominated by the significant expanse of Long Pond and the winding course of the Moose River. Smaller water bodies like Blair Pond are scattered throughout the landscape, connected by a network of drainage including Churchill Stream, Heald Stream, and Barton Brook. The sharp contrast of the imagery highlights the density of the canopy and the clearings required for logging and transport infrastructure during this era.
