1930 Map of Allagash

About this map

The confluence of the Allagash River and the ST John River anchors this 1930 survey of northern Aroostook County, Maine. This rugged borderland where the United States and Canada meet is defined by a complex network of waterways and timber-hauling routes. The settlement of Dickey serves as a central point for river activities, while isolated structures like the Log Cabin Sch and Lindberg Sch provide evidence of the small, dispersed logging and farming communities of the early twentieth century. Extensive rapids, such as the Michaud Rapids, and family-named landmarks like Kelly Brook Mtn reflect a landscape shaped by the logging industry and river transport. Further north, the Little Black River winds through township lands, including T 18 R 11, where old camps and portage paths like the Cunliffe Tote Road underscore the area's deep ties to the deep woods economy.
