About this map

Holeb stands as a focal point in this remote section of Somerset County, where the Moose River winds through a landscape dominated by peaks and glacial ponds. The settlement's connection to the regional timber and water economy is evidenced by labels such as Old Mill Yard and various access roads like Old Skinner Rd and Barrett Pond Rd. Significant elevations surround the river valley, including Attean Mtn, Burnt Jacket Mtn, and the distinctive southern peaks of Number Six Mtn and Number Five Mtn.

A network of water bodies defines the terrain, from the sprawling Holeb Pond with its central Birch Island to smaller basins like Little Bartley Pond and McKenney Pond. The presence of Camel Rips on the Moose River indicates the navigational challenges of these northern waters. This survey documents the specific topographical contours and hydrography of the Maine woods in the early 21st century, preserving the placement of forest roads and remote ponds used by generations of woodsmen and recreators.
