About this map

Moose River winds through this timber and rail corridor, anchored by the industrial and transport hub at Jackman Station. Surveyed just before the mid-1920s, the landscape reveals a transition from raw wilderness to a managed resource economy, where the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks hug the northern shore of Long Pond. Along this vital rail link, small outposts like Blair and Mackamp served as critical stops for local trade and travel.

North of the tracks, the terrain rises toward Bald Mountain, while the southern reaches are dotted with early 20th-century recreational and agricultural sites. Landmarks such as Heald Pond Camps and Tourist Camp highlight the area's burgeoning identity as a destination for sportsmen. Genealogists and historians can locate specific family-named operations like the Whipple Farm and Fogg Farm, alongside the Jackman Mill, providing a clear record of the families who worked this corner of Somerset County.
