1943 Map of Amity

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Wilcox Settlement and Estabrook Settlement anchor this landscape of eastern Aroostook County, where the border between the Maine and New Brunswick frontier is defined by the expansive waters of the Chiputneticook Lakes. Surveyed just before the Second World War, the map captures a rural network of small schoolhouses like the Smith Sch, South Amity Sch, and Elliot Sch that served isolated homesteads along the ridges. The terrain is marked by distinct family-named landmarks such as Stetson Ridge and Sugar Ridge, while the West Branch Mattawamkeag River flows through the southwestern corner near Haynesville. A prominent Fire Tower atop Mitchell Mtn speaks to the region's managed timberlands, and the presence of the Ferry Bridge near North Bancroft illustrates the critical river crossings that connected these northern settlements.
