1922 Map of Long Pond

About this map

Long Pond and the Moose River corridor dominate this Somerset County landscape as it appeared in the 1920s. This survey, conducted by J.L. Gayetty and others, details the early 20th-century dependence on both the river system and the Canadian Pacific railroad. The presence of Jackman Station and Jackman Mill marks the area's industrial activity, while numerous remote outposts like Churchill Camp, Hughey Camp, and Camp No 2 suggest a robust logging and sporting culture. The map also captures agricultural efforts at the Whipple Farm and Fogg Farm. To the south, Lake Parlin and its surroundings indicate the start of the region's development as a destination for outdoor recreation, further evidenced by the Tourist Camp and various hiking paths like the Alder Brook Trail.
