1953 Map of Ashland

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Aroostook River winds through the heart of northern Maine, anchoring a landscape defined by the timber and rail economy of the mid-20th century. This survey highlights the village of Ashland, where the local High Sch and numerous dwellings mark a hub of activity. Further south, the settlement of Masardis and the isolated No 6 Camp illustrate the range of forest-based habitation. The industrial backbone of the region is visible in the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line, which services critical rail-side locations such as Trafton Siding, Nowland Siding, and Midway Siding. Topography is varied, featuring landmarks like Castle Hill and Nowland Hill overlooking Squa Pan Lake. Genealogists will find significant detail in the locations of family-associated burial grounds, including the Dunn Cem near Sheridan and the Winslow Cem further downstream, providing a clear record of local lineage and early settlement patterns.
