1928 Map of Skinner

About this map

The Canada United States international border defines the northwestern edge of this 1928 survey, where the Maine wilderness meets Quebec. The landscape is dominated by the Canadian Pacific railroad, which provides the primary corridor through the remote townships of Lowelltown, Beattie, and Gorham Gore. Small settlements like Lowelltown and Skinner serve as isolated outposts along the tracks, likely supporting the logging or railway operations of the era. The terrain is a dense network of water and high ground, featuring Pond Mountain and the headwaters of the Moose River. Numerous smaller bodies of water, including Clear Pond and Twin Island Pond, are scattered throughout the region, while seasonal outposts such as Hogans Camp and Summit Camps appear near the higher elevations of Dome Mtn.
