1922 Map of Long Pond

About this map

Jackman Station serves as a vital western Somerset County gateway in this 1922 survey, anchoring a remote landscape where the Canadian Pacific railroad parallels the course of the Moose River. This era of the Maine woods was defined by the transition from rugged logging camps like Camp No 2 and industrial sites such as Jackman Mill to early tourism. Family-named landmarks including Whipple Farm and Fogg Farm are situated alongside recreational destinations like Hughey Camp and Tourist Camp near Owls Head. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic network essential to the timber industry, from the Upper Narrows of Long Pond to the secluded waters of Attean Pond and Lake Parlin. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the rail line and the valley floor, while expansive tracts like Misery Gore and Thorndike remain sparsely inhabited mountain terrain.
