1986 Map of Megantic

About this map

The Canadian Pacific railroad corridor cuts across this remote Maine landscape, serving as the primary transit artery through the logging country of Somerset and Franklin Counties. The settlement of Jackman and the nearby Jackman Station anchor the region at the junction with U S 201, where the Jackman Mill represents the local industrial footprint. This mid-1980s data illustrates the interconnected waterway system essential to the timber industry, from the sprawling Canada Falls Lake to the meandering Moose River. Smaller outposts and plantation names like Dennistown, Lowelltown, and Dyer-ville provide a record of North Country habitation along the international border with Quebec. The topography is defined by the numerous water bodies, including Attean Pond, Wood Pond, and Holeb Pond, which are surrounded by peaks like Sally Mountain and Boundary Lookout along the height of land.
