1924 Map of Long Pond

About this map

Canadian Pacific rails define the industrial and transit corridor of this Somerset County landscape, skirting the southern banks of the Moose River and the elongated waters of Long Pond. Surveyed in 1922, the map shows a logging and sporting economy in transition, where remote outposts like Churchill Camp and Heald Pond Camp sit alongside the established infrastructure of Jackman Station and Jackman Mill. The terrain is marked by family-named agricultural holdings such as Whipple Farm and Pogg Farm, which represent pockets of settlement amid the ridges of Catheart Mtn and Bean Brook Mtn. The hydrology is complex, with the lake narrowed at the Upper Narrows and Lower Narrows, while the Alder Brook Trail and various woods roads provide the only overland access into the surrounding townships like Soldier Town and Thorndike.
