1955 Map of Brooks

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Brooks serves as a primary hub within this mid-century depiction of Waldo and Penobscot counties, where the Belfast and Moosehead Lake railroad line winds through the southern landscape near Knox Sta. The area is characterized by an intricate network of small hamlets and crossroads such as Jackson Corners, Dixmont Center, and Simpson Corners, reflecting a deeply established rural settlement pattern. Industrial history is evident at Rollins Mills and Nickerson Mills, while the presence of the Peaked Mtn Airway Beacon and Mount Harris Lookout Tower highlights the era's navigational and fire-watch infrastructure. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including Knowlton Cem and Styles Cem, are scattered among the ridges of Robertson Mtn and Goodwin Hill, offering vital data points for genealogists researching the residents of Thorndike and Monroe.
