About this map

Monson serves as a primary hub of activity in this Piscataquis County landscape, where the slate industry is evidenced by the Kineo Quarry and Farm Quarry No 1. The town's social and community infrastructure is marked by Finn Hall and the Monson Cem, while smaller settlements like Onawa and Willimantic sit along the corridors of transport and timber. The Canadian Pacific Railroad cuts a decisive path through the center of the map, passing the St Regis Depot Camp and the remote waters of Lake Onawa.

High-altitude terrain dominates the northern reaches, including the prominent peaks of Barren Mountain and Boarstone Mountain. These ridges are traversed by the Appalachian Trail, which winds past Cloud Pond and Little Wilson Sch on its way toward the Pleasant River. The map also captures the transition from industry to recreation, showing lakeside points such as Farley Landing and Packard Landing on the shores of Sebec Lake.
