About this map

Canada United States international boundaries define the northwestern edge of this 1927 survey, where the heights of Mt Bon Durban and Saddle Hill overlook a landscape of high-elevation bogs and drainages. The Magalloway River system dominates the local topography, fed by the West Branch, Third Branch, and East Branch as they flow through the Bowman and Parmachenee townships. This is a region of isolated outposts and topographical landmarks, where the Bowman Farm stands as one of the few named human developments amidst the complex hydrology of Moose Bog and Moose Brook.

The mapping reveals the intersection of Quebec Maine and Quebec New Hampshire borders, emphasizing the remote nature of the Oxford Co Coos Co line. Water features such as Mountain Pond, Bowman Ponds, and Pond Bk are carefully recorded alongside significant peaks like Marble Mtn and Prospect Hill, documenting the specific environmental character of this borderland before modern infrastructure reached the upper Magalloway region.
