About this map

Skinner and Keough are the primary points of settlement within this wooded borderland of Somerset County, situated near the international boundary between Maine and Canada. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Moose River and its various tributaries, including the South Branch Moose River and Indian Brook. These waterways are punctuated by numerous small bodies of water such as Sipun Pond, Sapet Pond, and Twin Island Pond.

Logging roads like Skinner Rd and Holeb Rd trace the drainage patterns of the Gulf Stream and Little Gulf Stream, providing access to the higher elevations of Clear Pond Mtn and Caswell Mtn. The map records a modern moment in this working forest, where the boundary between Franklin and Somerset counties bisects the eastern hills, and the remote character of the North Maine Woods remains the dominant feature.
