About this map

The Canadian Pacific Railway cuts through the high timberlands of Franklin County, following the drainage of the Moose River as it crosses the international boundary between the Quebec Maine border. This 1928 survey captures a remote industrial and recreational landscape defined by the townships of Lowelltown, Beattie, and Gorham Gore. Small settlements and seasonal outposts like Skinner and Summit Camps are positioned along the rail line, serving as vital links in this mountainous region. The terrain is a dense network of water bodies, from the secluded Unknown Pond and Clear Pond to the marshes surrounding Mud Pond. Steep elevations at Pond Mtn and Caswell Mtn overlook the winding South Fork Moose River, illustrating the topographical challenges faced by surveyors and rail engineers in the early twentieth-century North Woods.
