1922 Map of Long Pond

About this map

Canadian Pacific rails define the industrial and transit corridor of this region, skirting the southern banks of the Moose River and the expansive waters of Long Pond. The 1922 surveying reveals a landscape caught between timber harvesting and the burgeoning wilderness tourism of the early twentieth century. Important local centers like Jackman Station and the nearby Jackman Mill anchor the western edge, while seasonal activity is reflected in the Heald Pond Camps, Churchill Camp, and a Tourist Camp located near Owls Head. Local agriculture is marked by family names such as Whipple Farm and Fogg Farm, showing the scattered residency of the era. The terrain transitions from the marshy Twelvemile Bog to the heights of Bean Brook Mtn and Parlin Mtn, with the Alder Brook Trail providing one of the few established overland routes through the northern timberlands.
