1928 Map of Skinner

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Canadian Pacific Railway serves as the primary artery through this remote section of Franklin County, following the course of the South Branch Moose River as it traverses the international boundary. Surveyed in 1928, the landscape is defined by its industrial logging and railway outposts, including the settlements of Lowelltown and Skinner, alongside more temporary locations like Hogans Camp and Summit Camps. The map provides a detailed view of the borderlands between Quebec and Maine, where the high elevations of Caswell Mtn and Dome Mtn overlook a complex network of waterways including the Dead River and Indian Pond. This era represents a period when the deep woods of Northern Maine were intensely connected to regional commerce through the rail line and a network of primitive transportation routes like the Tote Road.
