1929 Map of Calais

About this map

The St Croix River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this detailed survey, illustrating the close industrial and geographic ties of the border region. Industrial hubs like Woodland and Milltown are linked by the Maine Central RR, which snakes through the river valley alongside the Princeton and Calais Highway. Further inland, the map captures a rural landscape dominated by large water bodies and complex wetlands, most notably Meddybemps Lake and the sprawling Meddybemps Heath. Local history is preserved in the location of several small communities and essential landmarks, including Grove PO, North Union Sch, and the Calais Country Club. These features, along with numerous named islands like Masters I and Hardwood I, provide a clear picture of the region's early 20th-century development and land use patterns.
