About this map

The Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the heart of the Somerset County wilderness, serving the small settlement of Holeb along its route. This landscape is defined by the winding course of the Moose River, which connects a vast network of glacial water bodies including Holeb Pond and Big Fish Pond. The presence of the railroad alongside these remote waterways highlights the historical importance of the region for timber transport and backcountry access.

Elevations rise sharply at the edges of the river valley, dominated by the peaks of Attean Mtn and Burnt Jacket Mtn. To the south, the terrain becomes more isolated, featuring numerous brooks such as Barrett Brook and W Br Barrett Brook that feed into Round Pond. The mapping reveals a complex wetland environment, with features like Long Bog and the rapids at Camel Rips illustrating the natural barriers found throughout this North Woods territory.
