2014 Map of Ashland

About this map

The Aroostook River and Machias River converge at the heart of this Maine landscape, defining the layout of the settlement at Ashland. By 2014, the area maintained a distinct connection to its northern forestry and transit roots, with Portage Rd serving as a central spine through the territory. Several family and community burial grounds, such as Old Saint Marks Cem and Dunn Cem, are situated along the riverbanks and secondary roads like Sheridan Rd, offering specific locations for genealogical research. The map also traces the smaller hamlet of Sheridan and the community of Skerry to the northwest, where the Little Machias River winds through the hills. This survey records the proximity of the Allen St Peter Memorial Airport to the northern settlements, highlighting the region's reliance on both local airfields and traditional river-valley corridors.
