1931 Map of Ashland

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Ashland and the logging centers of central Aroostook County are captured here during the early 1930s, a time when the region's economy was inextricably linked to its river systems and the Bangor and Aroostook River rail line. The Aroostook River winds through the heart of the quadrangle, flanked by timber-related settlements like Sheridan and Masardis. One can observe the density of rural education at the time, with numerous district schools such as Nashville Sch, Wrightville Sch, and Thornton Sch serving the surrounding township lands of Nashville and Garfield. Industrial activity is evident at the Squapan Dam on Squapan Stream and the Newlands Mill near Newland Brook. The map reveals a landscape defined by ridges like York Ridge and the sprawling waters of Portage Lake, interconnected by established routes like the Bangor and Aroostook Highway and various old Tote Roads.
