1934 Map of Ashland

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Aroostook River and the Bangor and Aroostook railroad corridor define the industrial and social life of this Northern Maine region during the 1930s. The settlement of Ashland sits at a central crossroads, supported by outlying communities like Sheridan and Masardis. This survey, compiled in part from Air Corps aerial photographs, reveals a landscape deeply connected to timber and transport. Numerous small schoolhouses, including Old Stetson Sch and Nashville Sch, are scattered throughout the townships, reflecting a decentralized rural population. The presence of Nowland Mill and logging infrastructure like the Tote Road near No 6 Camp underscores the importance of the lumber industry. To the southeast, the expansive Squapan Lake and the smaller Mud Pond break the forest, while family-named landmarks like McClellan Sch on Castle Hill provide valuable points of interest for genealogical research.
