1977 Map of Jackman

About this map

Jackman and the nearby settlement of Dyerville sit at the center of this orthophotographic study, which utilizes aerial imagery taken in late October 1977. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Moose River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant watercourses like Sandy Stream and the East Branch carve through the heavily forested terrain, revealing the natural corridors that have historically dictated movement and settlement in this part of Somerset County. By using rectified photoimagery instead of traditional topographic lines, this map provides a clear view of the dense vegetation and the precise footprint of human activity at Moose Pond and along the local road networks during the late 1970s.
