1931 Map of Moose Bog

About this map

The Canada United States border cuts across this 1927 topographic survey, marking the intersection of Quebec, Maine, and New Hampshire. This remote mountain territory is defined by the headwaters of the Magalloway River, which flows through the township of Parmachenee and past the distinctive Moose Bog. The landscape is largely unsettled, save for the Bowman Farm located near the East Branch and the Bowman Ponds. Topographic details reveal high points like Mt Bon Durban and Saddle Hill, which overlook a network of alpine waters including Barker Pond and Mountain Pond. The map captures the precise boundary lines surveyed by J.I. Gayetty and Crawford Dickey, illustrating how the international and state borders follow the high ridges of the Northern Appalachians during the early twentieth century.
